oxygenated aliphatic organic material with C-O bonding and probable hydroxyl or ether functionality
General assessment- Strong bands at 1026, 1052, 1104, and 1158 cm-1 support prominent C-O bonding.
- A band at 3276 cm-1 supports possible hydroxyl-containing chemistry.
- A band at 2897 cm-1 supports an aliphatic organic backbone.
The observed 3276 cm-1 band is not an especially good fit for a narrow assignment to a simple acetal/haloacetal unless hydrogen bonding, impurity, or moisture is involved.
