The IR spectrum of triphenylmethanol exhibits characteristic absorption bands that provide insights into its molecular structure. The broad band around 3400 cm-1 corresponds to the O-H stretching vibration, indicating the presence of a hydroxyl group. The strong band at 1600 cm-1 is attributed to the C=C (aryl) stretching vibration, confirming the presence of the aromatic ring. The medium-intensity bands at 1500 and 1440 cm-1 represent the C-C (aryl) and C-H (aryl) stretching vibrations, respectively, further supporting the aromatic nature of the compound.
