“…The infrared spectrum of H 3 PMo 12 O 40 shows the characteristic frequency of Keggin POMs in the range of 1100-600 cm −1 : P-Oa (1065 cm −1 ), MoOd (963 cm −1 ), Mo-Ob-Mo (870 cm −1 ), and Mo-Oc-Mo (787 cm −1 ), which are consistent with the values reported in the literature 48. For L, the characteristic absorption peak of PO bond stretching vibration is 1260 cm −1 , and the characteristic absorption peaks produced by P-O-C bond stretching vibration are 1028 cm −1 and 1048 cm −1 , which are similar to the values reported in the literature 49. The infrared spectra of complexes1-10 show the characteristic vibrational absorption peaks produced by [PMo 12 O 40 ] 3− and L ligands.…”
