New adducts of zinc(II) acetylacetonate of composition [Zn(acac) 2 L] (where L=2‐aminoquinoline, 4‐aminoquinoline, 6‐aminoquinoline, 5‐amino‐4,6‐dimethylquinoline) were obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1 H‐NMR. The optical properties of zinc(II) adducts were investigated by UV/Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. In these adducts, each zinc(II) ion is coordinated with two acetylacetonate moieties and one aminoquinoline ligand through an endocyclic nitrogen atom. Adducts show thermal stability (m.p.>180 °C), good solubility in non‐polar solvents, but they easily decompose in the presence of Lewis bases. The 4‐aminoquinoline adduct does not luminesce. The emission bands of other compounds in CH 2 Cl 2 solutions are located in the blue region of the spectrum in the range 373–460 nm with quantum yields ϕ = 0.21‐0.40.
