Abstract: By means of ab initio HFand DFT B3LYPmethods, the structure of tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum(AlQ3) was optimized. The electronic transition mechanism in AlQ3 has been analyzed. The results suggest that the electronic π-π* transitions in AlQ3 are localized on the quinolate ligands; the transition from a phenoxide donor to a pyridyl acceptor includes C→Cand O→Ntransferences. There hardly is any relation to the metal aluminum. Considering the importance of ligand 8-hydoxyquinoline in AlQ3, we designed three derivatives of AlQ3 and discussed their possibilities as luminescent materials. The derivatives of AlQ3 maybe possess a high luminescence efficiency.
