Synthesis of new Fe+3, Co+2, Cu+2, Ru+3, and Rh+3 complexes of azo ligand; [5-((2-(3 H-1 indol-3-yl) ethyl) diazenyl)
quinolin-8-ol], of 1:2 (M: L) and characterized through various techniques. The complexes exhibited octahedral geometries. Thermogravimetric (TGA and DSC) analysis is utilized to study the thermal properties of various compounds and
reveal the presence of coordinated water molecules in the complexes. The multi-stage thermal decomposition mechanisms,
where the thermal breakdown is ended by the formation of metal oxide as the final stable residue. The antioxidant activity
of the ligand and its metal complexes was evaluated using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay and Gallic acid as a
standard substance. Among the tested co
