Bisquinolinemetal(II) halides generally lose one molecule of quinoline on heating to give the monoquinoline complexes. On further heating the manganese and nickel chloride derivatives lose one third of a molecule of quinoline and then decompose to the anhydrous halides. Other monoquinolinemetal(II) halidesdecompose directly to the anhydrous halides. The co-ordination about the metal atoms in the various
