Glycine as an amino acid exists as a zwitterion in aqueous solution within a wide range of pH. They can interact each other through hydrogen bonding, possibly producing self-assembly structure. In this study, we reacted metal nitrate with glycine to produce metal glycinate complexes by adding a base in water. The metal glycinate complexes were obtained by washing with methanol and drying in vacuum. Finally, metal glycinate complexes were pyrolyzed to produce nano-sized metal-oxide. Metal glycinate complexes and metal oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, elementary analysis (EA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and transmittance electron microscopy (TEM).
