- 1010 cm⁻¹ (height 0.71, strong sharp): Likely C–O stretch (alkoxy or ether). Standard range: 1000–1200 cm⁻¹ for C–O single bonds. Sharp, strong peak suggests a well-defined ether or alcohol group.
- 1017 cm⁻¹ (height 1.00, strong sharp): Also consistent with C–O stretch, possibly from a secondary alcohol or ether. The higher intensity suggests a dominant or symmetric C–O bond.
- 3268 cm⁻¹ (height 0.24, weak broad): O–H stretch (alcohol or carboxylic acid). Broad, weak peak indicates hydrogen bonding, typical of alcohols or weakly acidic O–H.
- 3282 cm⁻¹ (height 0.24, weak broad): Also O–H stretch, possibly from a different hydrogen-bonded environment (e.g., intermolecular H-bonding).
- 3308 cm⁻¹ (height 0.24, weak broad): Another O–H stretch, consistent with broad, weak signals from hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups.

Conclusion: The spectrum suggests a compound containing multiple hydroxyl groups (alcohol or phenol) and ether linkages. The strong, sharp C–O peaks at 1010 and 1017 cm⁻¹ indicate ether or alcohol functional groups, while the weak, broad O–H peaks at 3268–3308 cm⁻¹ confirm the presence of hydrogen-bonded hydroxyls. The absence of a sharp C=O peak (~1700 cm⁻¹) rules out carboxylic acids or ketones. The sample is likely an alcohol or polyol (e.g., a sugar or polyether alcohol) with multiple –OH and C–O bonds.
