“…Peaks observed at 1,638, 1,309 and 1,025 cm À1 associate with N-H bending, C-O stretch and C-N stretch, respectively. The peaks revealed binding of an amide linkage with Pb-AgNPs, which is clearly evident in the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, demonstrating the existence of biomolecules as a capping agent for Pb-AgNPs (Ramachandran et al 2015;Bhople et al 2016). Pb leaves contain a large number of phytochemicals such as amino acids, proteins, hydroxychavicol, eugenol, polyphenols, and several alkaloids and terpenoids, which have reduction properties (Guha 2006).…”
