“…Besides, the other newly formed characteristic proton signals of methylene of chitosan derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazole at 4.65 and 4.29 ppm (b in the spectra of chitosan derivatives 7a and 7b) and 3.53, 3.50, and 3.54 ppm (c in the spectra of chitosan derivatives 7a, 7b, and 7c) are also observed. Moreover, after the methylation, the characteristic resonances located at 8.03-8.48 ppm for the protons of 1,2,3triazole groups weaken greatly and new peaks at 8.69, 8.84, and 8.72 ppm (a in the spectra of chitosan derivatives 9a, 9b, and 9c) and 4.26, 4.35, and 4.31 ppm (d in the spectra of chitosan derivatives 9a, 9b, and 9c) are respectively assigned to the resonance of 5-H position of 1,2,3-triazolium rings and the pendant methyl groups attached to the nitrogen of 1,2,3-triazolium moieties (Abdelhedi-Miladi et al, 2014;M'Sahel et al, 2016). Besides, it is worth noting that the proton signals of methylene (b and c in the spectra of chitosan derivatives 9a, 9b, and 9c) are also shifted towards down field compared to those initially neighboring the 1,2,3-triazole groups.…”
