“…As displayed in Figure (black curve), Pim exhibits absorption at 3092, 3137, 1161, 1550, and 1637 cm –1 , of which the absorption at 3092 and 3137 cm –1 was assigned to the stretching vibration of C 2 –H in an imidazole ring, and the absorption at 1161, 1550, and 1637 cm –1 was attributed to the stretching vibration of the C–N bonds in imidazole ring . The mixture of K 3 Fe(CN) 6 and K 4 Fe(CN) 6 shows absorption at 2117 and 2030 cm –1 (blue curve), which was assigned to the stretching vibration of CN of K 3 Fe(CN) 6 and K 4 Fe(CN) 6 , , respectively (Figure S6, Supporting Information). Upon the formation of the composite with Pim, the stretching vibration of CN of K 3 Fe(CN) 6 at 2117 cm –1 was red shifted to 2108 cm –1 , while no obvious shift was observed for the stretching vibration of CN of K 4 Fe(CN) 6 at 2030 cm –1 .…”
