aromatic ester compound with ether/alkyl components, possibly a polyether‑ester blend or contaminated small molecule
General assessment- Library highest‑similarity match is tert‑butyl benzoate, highlighting the aromatic ester fingerprint.
- Direct literature evidence assigns the 1016 cm⁻¹ band to C–O single bond stretching [7] and the 1407 cm⁻¹ band to carbonate asymmetric stretching [4], although these do not all align with a pure small‑molecule ester.
- The collective Top‑15 library candidates consistently contain aromatic, ester, and methoxy/ether motifs, reinforcing the ester‑ether character of the sample.
Direct evidence also attributes the 845 cm⁻¹ band to Si–O stretching of Al–Mg–OH [3], the 871 cm⁻¹ band to carbonate [9], and the 955 cm⁻¹ band to silicon‑oxygen [5], which are incompatible with a single organic ester compound.
