Proton Magnetic Resonance Studies of 8-Quinolinol in Various Media

Abstract

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of 8-quinolinol and its acid salts are reported. The chemical shifts of the neutral molecule vary slightly for different solvents- the changes indicate complex formation between 8-quinolinol and solvent. The spectra of aqueous acid solutions suggest that the 8-quinolinium ion is hydrated, and can be dehydrated by the addition of other strong electrolytes to its solutions.
