What are the IR absorption bands and NMR data of triphenylmethanol?

Question

Santiago Alfonso · Accepted Answer

If you need these why don't you acquire the spectra yourself?

Neither the NMR nor the IR data of triphenylmethanol would be at all definitive or useful. In the #""^1H# #NMR# spectrum, you might see the peak due to #O-H# somewhere; mind you this is a low intensity peak. In the IR spectrum, there is nada. If you were tasked with identifying this substance as a chemist, you would create a few alcohol derivatives and compare their melting points to the extensive body of literature.

undefined The IR absorption bands of triphenylmethanol include: 
- A broad peak around 3300-3500 cm^-1 due to O-H stretching 
- Peaks around 1600-1650 cm^-1 due to aromatic C=C stretching 
- Peaks around 700-750 cm^-1 due to C-H bending in the aromatic rings

The NMR data of triphenylmethanol typically include: 
- A singlet peak around δ 7.0-7.5 ppm for the aromatic protons 
- A broad peak around δ 4.0-5.0 ppm for the hydroxyl proton 
- Additional peaks for the protons in the phenyl rings, typically appearing as multiplets in the region δ 7.0-8.5 ppm
