Summary Tryptophan within copoly(N-hydroxyethyl L-glutamine-co-L-tryptophan) treated with nitric acid (EGT-N) dissociates negatively above pH 10.5 by the electron-attractive effect of nitro groups introduced into the indole ring. The interaction between EGT-N and various metal ions was investigated using UV/VIS, ESCA, and ICP measurement. EGT-N was found to selectively form a complex with cobalt ions above pH 10.5. The formation of the cobalt ion complex of EGT-N was confirmed to be caused by the cooperative coordination of the tryptophan-introduced nitro groups and the OH groups of hydroxyethyl L-glutamine.
