The asymmetric and symmetric stretching bands of CH2 are observed in the range from 2900 to 2700 cm-1 and this stretching band is mainly coupled with the CH3 stretching vibration. Mirtazapine has only one CH3 group. The C-H stretching vibrations of methyl are observed between 3000 and 2900 cm-1. A methyl group
