N2 - (Chemical Equation Presented) Salphen the puzzle: Zn(salphen) complexes such as that shown organize into nanofibrils in the solid state. This assembly involves an intermolecular Zn⋯O interaction that stabilizes a polymeric structure with a (ZnO)n backbone. By tuning the peripheral substituents, luminescent gels may be prepared and the diameters of the fibers can be controlled.
