The sample's IR spectrum shows a prominent Si–O stretch near 1015 cm⁻¹ and lower-wavenumber bands that align with the sulfate/silicate library direction. However, a strong aliphatic C–H stretch at 2930 cm⁻¹ is absent from all top-15 library candidates, which are exclusively inorganic aluminosilicates or sulfates. This conflict prevents a firm identification

Detailed interpretation

  • Top library match: Azure blue #13938
  • The 2930 cm⁻¹ C–H stretching band is not present in any library candidate and is incompatible with a purely inorganic sulfate or silicate.
  • Library candidate azanium tetrafluoroborate (#47352, similarity 0.75) lacks Si–O and C–H signatures, further highlighting the spectral mismatch for this cluster.
  • The exact nature of the organic component cannot be determined from the library alone; it may be a contaminant or part of a hybrid material.
  • The library's composition space does not include organic-inorganic hybrids, S-O the retrieved direction may not fully describe the sample.

Recommended next steps: Consider attenuated total reflectance (ATR) to confirm surface composition and rule out organic contamination. If organic is integral, perform additional analysis (e.g., TGA–IR, Raman) to characterize the C–H component and search against a broader organosilicon library. Explore spectral subtraction of the inorganic contribution to isolate the organic spectrum for separate library interrogation.
