In this study, FT-IR spectral analysis was performed to identify the functional groups and chemical nature of <em>IU</em>. The spectrum exhibited prominent peaks at 3405, 2925, 2854, 1641, 1511, 1456, 1363, 1113, 831, 617, and 548 cm</span><span>⁻</span><span>¹, indicating the presence of hydroxyl, carbonyl, aromatic, and metal–oxygen linkages.
