What absorbs at 2058 cm⁻¹ in an FTIR spectrum?
A band near 2058 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 3 cited sources
Possible functional-group assignments
| Functional group | Supporting facts | Cited sources | Top confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adsorbed carbon monoxide | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Boron nitrogen | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Methoxy (OCH3) | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Methacrylate | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| C-O single bond | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Acetate | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Thiocyanate | 1 | 1 | 0.8 |
Ranking reflects accumulated literature evidence, not a single authoritative rule. Always confirm against your sample context.

Acetate confidence 1.0
“However, the [Fe-NO • OC-Cu B] state exhibits cm-1, only one ν(C-O)Cu at 2057 which contrasts with the multiple ν(C-O)Cu bands B B N cm-1 observed at 2058 and 2073 observed after photolysis of bo 3-CO at low temperature”
