“…In order to obtain information about the AITC complexation with β-CD, the IC and PM were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy ( Figure 4 ). The pure β-CD spectrum showed bands at 3,274, 2,925, 1,644, 1,152, 1,077, and 1,020 cm −1 related to hydroxyl groups (–OH stretching), methylene groups (C–H stretching), H–O–H bending of hydroxyl groups, glycoside skeleton (–C–O– stretching), and the secondary and primary O–H bending of hydroxyl groups, respectively ( 41 , 42 ). On the other hand, the AITC spectrum showed bands at 2,080, 1,416, and 920 cm −1 that were assigned to isothiocyanate group stretching (–NCS), –CH-CH– shear, and R–C-CH 2 bending of the allyl group, respectively ( 43 , 44 ).…”
