Next to him was a plastic bag with approximately 0.5 g of a blue powder. It is suspected that the person took a new psychoactive substance, either AB-fubinaca or AB-pinaca (see Figure 1 below). (A) (B)Figure 1: Chemical structures of AB-fubinaca (A) and AB-pinaca (B). a) Which technique would you recommend to confirm the identity of this powder, FTIR or UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy? Justify your answer in reference to the chemical structures above.b) The chemical AB-fubinaca (Figure 1A) absorbs radiation at 1220 cm-1. Convert this value into frequency with units of Hz.
