In aqueous solution 8-hydroxyquinoline has a pKa value of ca. 9.9[1] It reacts with metal ions, losing the proton and forming 8-hydroxyquinolinato-chelate complexes.
The aluminium complex[2] is a common component of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Variations in the substituents on the quinoline rings affect its luminescence properties.[3]
In the photochemically induced excited-state zwitterionic isomers are formed in which the hydrogen atom is transferred from oxygen to nitrogen.[4]
The complexes as well as the heterocycle itself exhibit antiseptic, disinfectant, and pesticide properties,[5][6] functioning as a transcription inhibitor.[7] Its solution in alcohol is used in liquid bandages. It once was of interest as an anti-cancer drug.[8]
A thiol analogue, 8-mercaptoquinoline is also known.[9]
The roots of the invasive plant Centaurea diffusa release 8-hydroxyquinoline, which has a negative effect on plants that have not co-evolved with it.[10]
