Formation of Flower-Like Crystals of Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum from 8-Hydroxyquinoline on Anodic Porous Alumina

The treatment of anodic porous alumina (APA) plates in heated water containing 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) produces crystalline tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) microbelts about 5–10 μm wide and 5–20 μm long. These microbelts were found to aggregate to form flower-like structures on the surface....
