“…Typical bands assigned to V@O, V-O p (peroxo) and O-O vibrations in V(V)-peroxo complexes are observed [64][65][66] in the spectral windows 920-1000, 660-440, and 800-950 cm À1 , respectively. More precisely, the vibrational features of the [VO(O 2 )] group are expected in the respective spectral ranges of typical monoperoxo complexes of vanadium [66][67][68][69]; 945-980 cm À1 for the V@O stretches, 920-950 cm À1 for O-O vibrations, and 540-595 cm À1 for the V-O p stretches. In this work, a near-infrared laser excitation line (1064 nm) was employed to avoid pre-resonance phenomena.…”
