Infrared spectrum comparison chart.
Analysis result: Nitro-aromatic maleimide.
The spectrum is most consistent with a nitro-substituted aromatic maleimide derivative, specifically 1-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrrole-2,5-dione (library match 1, similarity 0.66). The carbonyl region exhibits an imide-characteristic doublet at 1724 and 1740 cm⁻¹, while the aromatic substitution pattern (724, 747, 830, 1550, 1613 cm⁻¹) suggests a para-disubstituted benzene ring. The band at 1550 cm⁻¹ may also contain the asymmetric NO₂ stretch, in agreement with the nitro group present in all top library candidates. Library confidence is moderate; related nitrobenzaldehydes and dinitroaromatics cannot be excluded, but the double carbonyl pattern strongly favors a cyclic imide
