What absorbs at 1327 cm⁻¹ in an FTIR spectrum?
A band near 1327 cm⁻¹ can point to several functional groups. Below are the most likely assignments, ranked by how much published evidence supports each — every one traceable to literature (DOI) and cross-validated against our 130,000+ reference spectra and knowledge graph.
Backed by 4 cited sources
Possible functional-group assignments
| Functional group | Supporting facts | Cited sources | Top confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbohydrate | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Carboxyl (COOH) | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| N-O bond | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Alkyl C-H | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Sulfate (SO4) | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
Ranking reflects accumulated literature evidence, not a single authoritative rule. Always confirm against your sample context.

Sulfate (SO4) confidence 1.0
“An IR peak at 1327.03 is assigned as anti-inflammatory, (eCeO thyroid, anti-neoplastic, anti-thrombotic antistretch present in a sulfate group [41] and stretching) [42].”

Alkyl C-H confidence 1.0
“structural components of wood because it corresponds to C-H bending of polysaccharides which joins the cm-1 cm-1 band at 1327 of S and G lignin condensed units (Faix 1991).”

N-O bond confidence 1.0
“The peak at 1533 is caused by N-O stretching of aromatic nitro cm-1 compounds, the peak at 1386 is caused by symmetric carboxylate stretching, and the peak at 1327 is caused by N-O asymmetric stretching and reveals the presence of a nitro c”
