Literature behind these assignments
-
C c single bond confidence 1.0
“The bands at 1767 and 1665 were associated cm-1 -CN C-C band's absence at around 2250 due to the stretch with C=O stretching vibrations, and aromatic ring chain”

Acetate confidence 1.0
“A first well-resolved cm-1, band is observed at 1767 which is usually assigned to C=O stretching vibration in carboxylic groups.”
