Abstract: This work involves synthesis and spectral identification of azo ligand 7- [2- (Benzimidazolyl) azo]-8-Hydroxy quinolone (BIAHQ) and prepare of its complex with Au (III). The ligand and its complex were examined using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and photoiluminzcence spectroscopy (PL). In order to reach the optimal conditions for the degradation of the complex, impact of several factors on photodegradation were studied which include Study theeffect of the complex concentration, temperature range 20-35C, and acidic function within range 4-10.
