“…For instance, Cu-TMA has several characteristic peaks at 760 and 1446 cm −1 , corresponding to Cu−O 26 and CO, 27 respectively. In addition, both peaks at 1615 and 1642 cm −1 can be ascribed to CO, 19,28,29 originating from the carboxyl group in TMA coordinated with the Cu sites. On the other hand, Cu-BDC has several characteristic peaks at 566, 1022, and 1288 cm −1 , which can be assigned to Cu−O, 30 C−H, 31,32 and C−C, 33 respectively.…”
