inorganic carbonate-containing material
General assessment- The observed 1396 cm-1 band supports a strong carbonate stretching vibration.
- The accompanying bands near 870 and 709 cm-1 support the same carbonate-containing interpretation.
- The peak set is more consistent with an inorganic salt-like material than with an organic compound requiring multiple distinct C-H, C-F, or aromatic features.
The top library identification as barium(+2) cation; trifluoromethanesulfonate is not directly supported by characteristic evidence for trifluoromethanesulfonate, such as a richer sulfur-oxygen and carbon-fluorine band pattern.
