“…The FT-IR bands at 1043, 1189, 1315 cm À1 and the FT-Raman bands 1253, 1297 cm À1 are assigned to CAH in-plane bending vibrations of pyridine rings in NBPMB. These assignment s are comparable with harmonic wavenumbers in range 1046-1305 cm À1 (mode nos: 55, 56, 63, 64, 67, 69, 71, 72) and also find support from literature [34,35]. The mode numbers 73, 74 are assigned to d CAH (C 12 AH 13 , C 25 AH 26 ) modes.…”
