“…On the one hand, when ether linkage associates with NH to form hydrogen bonding, shown in Figure 1 (g), (l), (m), (n) and (o) [6][7][8][11][12][13] respectively, the vibration of hydrogen bonded NH compared with free urethane NH or urea NH is subject to certain restrictions. Because urethane or urea groups are planar [24][25][26], the vibration of C=O is also subject to certain restrictions, leading to slight shifts to lower frequencies. On the other hand, when ether linkage associates with NH to form hydrogen bonding, the steric hindrance of C=O increases, resulting in slight shifts to lower frequencies.…”
