7-Nitro-8-hydoxyquinoline-5-sulfonate (NHQS) have been synthesized from 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid by nitrosation in alkaline medium at temperature below 10℃ and the acid dissociation constants of NHQS have been determined by spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. Almost same values are obtained by both methods but the values are lower than the corresponding 8-hydroxyquinoline. The lower basicity of NHQS is considered as the effect of electron withdrawing groups, especially adjacent nitroso group.
