These absobance bands were known to associate with the stretching vibrations for –C C-C ), -C C- [(in ring) aromatic], C-O (esters and ethers) and C-O (polyols), respectively (Bar et al., 2009). The peaks were seen in the same pattern for all the samples. The peaks at 3315.41 cm-1 were assigned to the stretching of primary and secondary amines (N-H). The peaks at 1114.78 cm-1 and 1112.85 cm-1 can be assigned to the C-N stretching vibrations of aromatic aliphatic amines. This FT-IR spectrum supports the presence of proteins in the synthesis of silver
