“…In previous works, some of CH stretching vibrations of phenyl for different compounds were reported as quite weak bands at 3086, 3071, and 2984 cm -1 [22][23][24]. The bands seen at 2949, 2915, 2834 cm -1 (IR) and 2954, 2833 cm -1 (R) can be attributed to CH stretching vibrations due to the piperazine ring since in the literature free piperazine and its various derivatives have the following CH stretching adsorption bands: 2950, 2945, 2925, 2831 and 2825 cm -1 [23][24][25]. During the investigation of previously published works, it was seen that C-C stretching bands were reported as 1597, 1570, 1481 for biphenyl, 1600, 1579, 1498 for 1-phenylpiperazine, 1598, 1481, 1454 for 1-(4-nitrophenyl)piperazine, 1588, 1479, 1455 for nitrobenzene and 1600, 1463 cm -1 for N-(4nitrophenyl)-β-alanine.…”
