Infrared spectrum comparison chart.
Analysis result: oxygenated carbonyl compound, most consistent with an ester or carbonate.
The spectrum is most safely interpreted as an oxygenated carbonyl-containing organic material, with the strongest support for an ester-like or carbonate-like structure rather than a firm assignment to Diethyl carbonate itself. The key evidence is a strong carbonyl band at 1722 cm-1 together with multiple C-O stretching features at 1274, 1125, and 1076 cm-1, plus aliphatic C-H absorption near 2923 cm-1. Although the top library hit is Diethyl carbonate, the retrieval confidence is effectively absent and no direct reference or closely aligned literature evidence confirms that specific identity
