“…As the Raman spectroscopy has finite analysis depth [45], a prominent variation between the spectra of precursor and the resulting material may indicate the subsurface layers of the polyyne-polyene being dehydrohalogenated better than deeper layers, thus confirming the studies of PVDF dehydrofluorination using similar techniquea [18]. The line at 2160 cm −1 is attributed to the vibration of sp-hybridized chains [37][38][39], while the lines at higher wavelengths of 2330, 2470, 2670, and 3070 cm −1 are related to the overtones of the discussed fundamental lines, corresponding to the second order of ν1 (denoted as 2×ν1), a weak overtone of ν1 and cis-ν1 (indicated as ν1+cis-ν1), an overtone of ν1 and ν2 (ν1+ν2), the second order of ν2 (2×ν2), respectively. The location of ν1 at 1160 cm −1 and ν1+cis-ν1 positioning at 2470 cm −1 indicates that the contribution of cis-ν1 is centered at approximately 1310 cm −1 , which is somewhat distant from the position of 1250 cm −1 observed for cis-polyacetylene [49], though, the position can be shifted to higher wavelengths for short and defected chain fragments.…”
