The absorption and emission ofN,N’-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-ethylenediamine (Salen) were studied in solution mixtures of water-acetonitrile and water-methanol / ethanol. The study shows an appearance of a new absorption band centered at 400 nm, which emits strongly around 500 nm. Methanol and ethanol show the same effect.
