“…Figure 1 shows the IR spectra recorded on the three series of samples synthesized by using HMTA, FS, and TA as chelating/fuel agents after thermal treatment at various temperatures: 500 • C, 700 • C, 750 • C, and 900 • C. The vibrational bands recorded at 638 cm −1 , 640 cm −1 , and 640 cm −1 on the three samples correspond to the lattice vibrations of the Cr 3+ -O 2− from the tetrahedral positions. The markers recorded at 492 cm −1 , 498 cm −1 , 496 cm −1 , 418 cm −1 , 410 cm −1 , and 415 cm −1 were attributed to the lattice vibrations of Mg 2+ , Cr 3+ -O 2− from tetrahedral and octahedral positions [26]. The vibration bands recorded at about 940-950 cm −1 were attributed to the presence of Cr(VI)-O bond vibrations [26].…”
