“…For the BODIPY-PH spectrum, the characteristic peaks at 3181, 2978, 2926, 1597, and 1584 cm −1 were assigned to N-H, C methyl -H, C methyl -H, C=N, and C=N stretching vibrations, respectively. It was observed that the wavenumbers of the N-H and C=N peaks were found at the lower frequencies than those values reported in the literature [55,56], due to the larger conjugation length. After complex formation, the broad and intense O-H peak at 3231 cm −1 regarding the H 2 O ligands that coordinated to the Fe 3+ was detected.…”
