“…In the FT-IR spectrum of diphenylthiocarbazone (Figure 2(b), curve a), the absorption peaks at 3445, 2962, 1594 and 1499, 1438, 1221, 1145, 888, 679, and 752 cm −1 correspond to the stretching vibration mode of N-H band, methylene C-H asymmetric vibration band, benzene ring stretching band, C=S stretching mode, deformation vibration of N-H band, C-H inplane bending vibration of benzene ring, N-N stretching mode, and benzene ring deformation vibration mode, respectively [33]. As shown in Figure 2(b) (curves bg), the peaks belonging to diphenylthiocarbazone disappeare, only leaving one strong broad peak at 3451 cm −1 corresponding to the O-H stretching vibration of water [34].…”
