Aromatic/methyl organic compound with carboxyl/carbonyl and phosphate or C-O groups
General assessment- The reference library comparison shows moderate similarity to 3‑chloropyridine and a broader consensus toward aromatic and methyl‑containing compounds.
- Direct literature assignments confirm carboxyl and carbonyl vibrations at the observed positions.
- The presence of C–O stretching bands aligns with the supporting groups of the library’s top‑15 candidates, such as ester, carboxyl, and methoxy.
The 1018 cm⁻¹ band has been previously assigned to silicon‑oxygen [3] and phosphate in separate studies, introducing assignment ambiguity.
