“…The FTIR spectra of both commercial reagent and silylated product are reported in Fig. 2. www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/aoc [19,30,51] Si-C deformation in Si-methyl group [36,40,59] IR band positions in hydrated yttrium acetate and the specific IR bands in silylated yttrium acetate, prepared with a dehydrated product, are reported in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. First, compared with the silylated product, the IR spectrum of hydrated yttrium acetate (Fig. 2a) exhibits an evolution of the stretching γ (C-C) (960 and 945 cm −1 ) [19] .…”
