an inorganic carbonate-type material, possibly with additional sulfate- or fluorinated-sulfonyl-like contributions
General assessment- Bands near 1396, 870, and 709 cm-1 fit a carbonate-type FTIR pattern better than the mixed organic and polymer alternatives in the library list.
- The sample lacks broader corroborating spectral information needed to support the specific top-hit salt assignment.
- Top-15 library candidates repeatedly include sulfur-oxygen-rich and fluorinated entries, so sulfate- or fluorinated-sulfonyl-like chemistry remains a secondary possibility, but it is not directly established by the reported peak set.
A specific assignment to barium(+2) cation; trifluoromethanesulfonate is not directly supported because the retrieval confidence is low and the similarity score is effectively null.
