Infrared spectrum comparison chart.
Analysis result: aromatic ester compound with ether/alkyl components, possibly a polyether‑ester blend or contaminated small molecule.
The sample spectrum indicates a material dominated by aromatic ester functional groups and polyether‑like C–O–C linkages. A strong carbonyl band at 1714 cm⁻¹ is attributable to an ester C=O, and characteristic aromatic C–H out‑of‑plane vibrations appear near 723 and 790 cm⁻¹. The overall pattern closely matches tert‑butyl benzoate (library similarity 86%), but the presence of several bands (e.g., 845, 871, 955 cm⁻¹) that are inconsistent with a pure aromatic ester, together with direct literature evidence of Si–O and carbonate absorptions, suggests the material is not a single pure compound. The spectrum shares many features with a polyether‑ester system, possibly a blend or a polymer containing aromatic ester and ether segments
