Two 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline metal complexes, bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato) beryllium (Bebq2) and bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato)zincum (Znbq2), have been synthesized. The structure are characterized by 1HNMR, IR and so on. The photophysical processes of Bebq2 and Znbq2 have been carefully investigated by fluorescence spectra. The results show
