local atomic structures of complexes were determined from analysis of EXAFS and XANES of Zn K-edges. The molecular structure of bis2-[(E)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyliminomethyl]-4-methoxyphenol}zinc(II) was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The fluorescence spectra show that these complexes in DMSO solutions at room temperature emit bright blue and green luminescence at 428–497 nm.
