What absorbs at 510 cm⁻¹ in an FTIR spectrum?
A band near 510 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal oxygen | 3 | 3 | 1.0 |
| Metal carbon | 1 | 1 | 1.0 |
| Silicon-oxygen (Si-O) | 1 | 0 | 1.0 |
Ranking reflects accumulated literature evidence, not a single authoritative rule. Always confirm against your sample context.
