“…In Figure c, five upward characteristic peaks (C, D, E, F, and G) belonging to the [Cu 2 (Cit) 2 ] 2– ion still exist, whereas their peak intensities weakened, indicating that SM inhibits the electroreduction of the [Cu 2 (Cit) 2 ] 2– ion, which is in accord with the results of LSV curves in Figure . There are also three upward characteristic peaks (H, I, and J) arising at about 1774 cm –2 for ν (CO), 1713 cm –2 for ν(CO), and 1202 cm –2 for ν (C–N) of SM, , and their peak intensities slightly increased due to its consumption with the potential negatively shifting. The consumption may result from the electroreduction of SM to the SM anion …”
