Aromatic / secondary amine-containing organic material (amide-rich)
General assessment- Direct literature support assigns the 1234 cm⁻¹ band to Amide III in biological samples [10] and the 1543 cm⁻¹ band to (C)N‑H in amide [5].
- The 1632 cm⁻¹ peak is explicitly reported as a C=O stretching vibration [4] and is further corroborated by numerous other studies of protein/amide systems.
- The band at 1543 cm⁻¹ is consistent with amide II (N‑H bending coupled with C‑N stretch), and the feature at 1632 cm⁻¹ is attributable to amide I (predominantly C=O stretching).
The top commercial library match, Ethane-1,2‑diol (HOCH₂CH₂OH), cannot account for the amide and aromatic bands observed, and the low similarity score (0.503) indicates a poor chemical match.
