  (ii) 532.14 (ii) 533.48 (ii) 532.38 (ii) 533.90 (ii) −COO, ionic bonding with Cd(II), but coordinate bonding with Hg(II) and Cr(III) (25)
  (iii) 533.36 (iii) 535.63 (iii) 533.46 (iii) 534.51 (iii) O–H of −COOH, ionic bonding with Cd(II), but coordinate bonding with Hg(II) and Cr(III) (26)
  (iv) 540.16 (iv) 540.54 (iv) 540.74   (iv) shake-up satellite band of the O atom in the –CO–N(CHMe2)–CH2– segment of PANIPN21 due to π–π* transition (2)
C 1s (i) 284.81 (i) 285.77 (i) 285.56 (i) 284.94 (i) C of hydrocarbon moieties (i.e., CxHy) (27)
  (ii) 286.82 (ii) 287.01 (ii) 286.75 (ii) 286.23 (ii) >CH–CO– or protonated C attached to N (i.e., −NH–CH< and −NH–CH2−)
