Abstract

In this paper, flake-like Zn–Tryptophan complexes were successfully synthesized by a refluxing method. We confirm that the reaction time influences Zn–Tryptophan complexes growth during the whole process. The intensity of the peaks of Zn–Tryptophan in photoluminescence spectrum increased twice or more compared with that of pure Tryptophan. This synthesis approach is expected to become an appropriate method for preparation of other M-organism complexes.
