“…The IR-absorption spectrum of pure BGCC crystal exactly coincides with the earlier report [15]. In the IR-spectrum of dye doped BGCC crystal the vibrations connected with NH 3 stretching at 3160 cm À 1 , NH 3 bending at 1606 cm À 1 , CH 2 bending at 1473 cm À 1 and C-O stretching at 1442 cm À 1 in undoped BGCC [24] were absent, and this fact obviously testifies to a strong interaction between xylenol orange molecules with NH 3 , CH 2 and C-O groups. The new peaks present in the dye doped BGCC at 1579, 1450 and 1322 cm À 1 are due to NH 3 bending, CH 2 bending and CH 2 twisting vibrations, respectively.…”
