In solid state, complexes had shown higher fluorescence intensities comparing to the free ligand, and this behavior is appreciated as a consequence of the coordination process. %K 5-hydroxyflavone (primuletin) %K Mg(II) and Zn(II) complexes %K spectral properties %K thermal behavior %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/18/7/7631
