“…The survey spectrum depicted the presence of peaks at 532.08, 285.08, and 399.08, which correspond to O 1s, N 1s, and C 1s, respectively (Figure ). , The deconvolution of C 1s spectra is shown in Figure b, which suggests the presence of 5 peaks at 283.72, 284.52, 285.30,286.20, and 287.65, which corresponds to CH 3 CO, C–C/CC, C–N/C–O, CN/CO, and HO–CO, respectively. , Figure c shows the deconvolution of N 1s spectra, which indicates the presence of 3 different peaks at 398.14, 399.68, and 401.05, which signifies the presence of C–N–C, C–N–H, and (C 3 )–N bond, respectively. − The high-resolution spectra of the O 1s scan can be seen in Figure d and after deconvolution, it has 4 peaks at 530.56, 531.52, 532.56, and 533.42, which represent the functional groups as CO, C–OH, C–O–C, and HO–CO, respectively. − We also determined the elemental analysis of C, N, and O, which comes out to be 59.58, 9.14, and 31.28%, respectively. The presence of these highly electronegative groups on CNS may be attributed to the binding of a highly positive divalent ion of Cu 2+ making it a potential sensor.…”
