O-H Stretch
A vibrational mode observed in infrared spectroscopy, characteristic of the stretching of the O-H bond in molecules, indicative of the presence of alcohols or water.
Alcohols
Organic compounds characterized by one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a carbon atom.
IR Absorption
A technique in spectroscopy where molecules absorb infrared light, causing vibrational transitions, used to identify chemical compounds.
