Strong blue-fluorescence-emitted stable monolayers formed in organic solvents by a coordination polymer with long-chained bis-Schiff base

J Colloid Interface Sci. 2003 Feb 15;258(2):432-4. doi: 10.1016/s0021-9797(02)00097-8.

Abstract

The coordination polymer, P(ZnL) (L=N,N'-bis[2-hydroxy-4-(dodecyloxy)benzaldehyde)]-ethylenedimine), forms a novel uniform lamellar superstructure in organic liquids, which exhibits intense fluorescence in organic dispersions as well as in the corresponding cast films.
