“…31,32 The IR spectrum of the Ni(PyT) complex revealed a new band at 3410 cm −1 corresponding to the n(OH) group of lattice water. 33,34 The emergence of a band at 506 cm −1 corresponding to n(M ) O) in the FT-IR spectrum of the Ni(PyT) complex is another evidence in favour of the above hypothesis. 34,35 Therefore, according to the IR analysis, PyT functions as a neutral bidentate ligand with indents at azomethine N and thione S. XRD patterns; however, the Ni(PyT) complex has a ne nanocrystalline nature.…”
