“…4. According to the results of cited literature, the observed bands could be attributed to the stretching vibration of -OH at 3406, 3423 and 3437 cm − 1 (Łojewska et al 2005(Łojewska et al , Kumar et al 2013 , the band at 2764, 2852, 2854, 2913, 2924, 2925 cm − 1 related with the -CH 2 stretching vibration (You et al 2021) , the band at 2396, 2427 cm − 1 were attributed to the oxygen-hydrogen tensile vibrations through hydrogen bond reaction (Khan et al 2017) , 2093 cm − 1 was attributed to the stretching vibration of -C ≡ C-. 1736, 1763, 1790 cm − 1 bands were attributed to carboxyl or aldehyde groups (Kaur and Mehta 2017, Fang et al 2018, You et al 2021 .…”
