23. No clear assignment can be made on the side peaks although they are likely associated with low energy vibrations (~6 meV) of the molecule (Ref.) or phonons in the alumina. The small peak on the higher-energy side is possibly due to the nonrelaxed intramolecular radiative transition as discussed in the text or due to the lift of the LUMO orbital degeneracy when MgP is adsorbed on the surface (Ref.).
