Infrared Spectra for Five Specific Odorant Compounds

Raw infrared spectroscopy data for five odorant compounds: calone, benzyl salicylate, dihydromercynol, cyclamen aldehyde, and ambroxan. The data was obtained by chemist Denise Vonck in collaboration with Beau Voerman. The dataset is 1.4 MB in size and was last updated on May 11, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare infrared spectral features across different odorant compounds.
• Validate or calibrate spectroscopic models for fragrance ingredients.
• Use as reference data for teaching or demonstrating infrared spectroscopy techniques.
• Analyze chemical bond vibrations specific to the listed odorant molecules.

Strengths

• Data is provided for five distinct, named odorant compounds.
• Dataset size is 1.4 MB, indicating a focused and manageable scope.
• Author and collaborator are named, providing clear attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
