• absorption emerges at 1613 cm−1. The redshift of the absorption frequency is conclusive with respect to the weakened C=O double bond caused by the electron donation from the carbonyl unit to the scandium(III) cation, which is also evident in the UV–vis absorption of MCM-ACR (see below in Figure 9). According
