A graph G is chromatically unique if for any simple graph H, P（H,λ） = P（G,λ） implies that H is isomorphic to G. Many sufficient conditions guaranteeing that some certain complete tripartite graphs are chromatically unique were obtained by many scholars. Especially, in 2003, Zou Hui-wen showed that if n 〉 1/3m2 ＋ 3/1k2 ＋ 3/1mk＋ 1/3m-1/3k＋ 3/2√m2 ＋ k2 ＋ mk, where n,k and m are non-negative integers, then the complete tripartite graph K（n - m,n,n ＋ k） is chromatically unique （or simply χ–unique）. In this paper, we prove that for any non-negative integers n,m and k, where m ≥ 2 and k ≥ 0, if n ≥ 3/1m2 ＋ 3/1k2 ＋ 3/1mk ＋ 3/1m - 3/1k ＋ 43, then the complete tripartite graph K（n - m,n,n ＋ k） is χ–unique, which is an improvement on Zou Hui-wen’s result in the case m ≥ 2 and k ≥ 0.

We denote by Eτp＋（r-1）^G（i） the graph obtained from Sr and rG by coinciding the i-th vertex of G with the vertex of degree r - 1 of S,, while the i-th vertex of each component of （r - 1）G be adjacented to r - 1 vertices of degree 1 of St, respectively. By applying the properties of adjoint polynomials, We prove that factorization theorem of adjoint polynomials of kinds of graphs Eτp＋（r-1）^G（i）∪（r - 1）K1 （1 ≤i≤p）. Furthermore, we obtain structure characteristics of chromatically equivalent graphs of their complements.
