The infrared spectrum of triphenylmethanol will have a broad peak for the OH group at 3550 - 3200 cm^-1. It will also have a C-O peak at 1300 - 1000 cm^-1. Because of the aromatic C=C groups in the three benzene rings, there will be prominent peaks around 1600 - 1585 cm ^-1 and 1500 - 1400 cm^-1.

In the IR spectrum of triphenylmethanol, you would typically observe peaks around 3600-3200 cm^-1 due to O-H stretching, around 1600-1400 cm^-1 due to C=C stretching, and around 1200-1000 cm^-1 due to C-O stretching. These peaks can help identify the presence of the hydroxyl group, aromatic rings, and alcohol functional group in the compound.

OH should be approximately 3200-3550 cm-1. It must be very broad. The triphenylmethanol will more than likely have a slight stretch with the steric playing around.
