Wereport a new method for the green synthesis of ZnOnanoparticles. A new leucine-based diamine amphiphile was synthesized and self-assembled,which in the presence of Zn²⁺ ions assembled into nanofibers,that efficiently formed ZnO nanoparticles upon heating in the presenceof Zn(CH₃COO)₂. Further, these ZnO nanoparticles functioned as efficient photocatalysts. ©2010
