8-Hydroxy-2-quinolinecarbonitrile is an uncomplexed ligand that can be used for the synthesis of metal complexes. 8-Hydroxy-2-quinolinecarbonitrile is insoluble in most solvents, including water, and has a high melting point. This compound can be synthesized from acetonitrile and primary amines by condensing with formaldehyde. It is not possible to catalyze this reaction, as it does not undergo homolysis or heterolysis reactions. The uncomplexed ligand has been shown to bind to metal ions such as copper and silver. Its diffraction pattern was found to have a polynuclear nature with a number of diffraction peaks within the range of 5-9 Å.
