“…The bands at 951, 1037, 1083, 1631 and 3014 cm −1 are attributed to the stretching vibrations of C-C, C-F, C-N, CvO and C-H, respectively. 17,23,34 Other strong bands in the regions around 1486 and 3425 cm −1 are assigned to the -OH bending and stretching vibrations, respectively. 35 In particular, compared with the MQDs, the significantly stronger bands at 1378, 1531 and 3120 cm −1 for the N-MQDs are associated with the C-N stretching vibration, N-H bending vibration and N-H stretching vibration, demonstrating the increased amount of amino groups on the N-MQDs.…”
