In this work, Density Functional Theory was used in the theoretical study of the coordination of three ligands derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) with N-acylhydrazone: 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (INHHQ), 2-[(8-hydroxyquinolinyl)methylene] acetohydrazide (8-H2QH) and 2-[(8-hydroxyquinolinyl)methylene] hydrazinecarboxamide (8-H2QS); with the Zn2+ion. These complexes prevent interactions of the metal ions present in the brain, with the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ), avoiding the formation of aggregates that are responsible for the development of the Alzheimer's disease. The results show that the three ligands coordinate the Zn2+ion in a tridentate form through the O and N atoms of the 8-hydroxyquinoline center and the N of the hydrazonic group, completing the coordination sphere with two chloride ions, creating a bipyramidal structure trigonal, different from the structures of the complexes reported in the literature.
