The FTIR evidence does not support a firm assignment to the library top hit, 2-Bromo-1,1-diethoxyethane. Instead, the observed spectrum is more defensibly described as an oxygenated aromatic organic material containing ether and/or alcohol functionality. This direction is supported by an O-H or N-H stretching band near 3292 cm-1, strong C-O region absorptions at 1018, 1075, 1148, and 1284 cm-1, aromatic-ring bands at 1607 and 1518 cm-1, and an out-of-plane aromatic C-H band near 762 cm-1. The reference library comparison itself is extremely weak, with all reported similarities at 0.000 and no direct or related literature evidence narrowing the identification further
