Abstract

In this work, some organometallic complexes with featured characteristics were prepared by linking metallic ions such as Al³⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ba²⁺ to the 8-hydroxyquinoline ligand. Two different solvents, dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), were used to form the solutions of the prepared complexes. The spectral characteristics in the UV, visible and IR regions, and physiochemical characteristics such as melting point, electrical conductivity, solubility and gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, of the prepared complexes were studied. Also, the effect of solvent type on the spectral characteristics of these complexes were determined. The prepared complexes and their spectral and physiochemical characteristics were assessed to be used as laser dyes.
