We analyze dust features present in the mid-infrared (Spitzer) and recently published L-band (UKIRT) spectra of the infrared galaxy IRAS 08572 + 3915. The line of sight toward the AGN nucleus crosses a high column density of carbonaceous dust whose characteristic absorption features appear clearly. They provide a real insight into the chemical environment of the diffuse interstellar medium. Thanks to the moderate redshift of IRAS 08572 + 3915, the wavelength of the aromatic CH stretching mode is free of major telluric lines, and a strong observational constraint of H(sp2)/H(sp3) <= 0.08 has been determined. This limit clearly shows that the bonding of hydrogen atoms in interstellar hydrogenated amorphous carbon is highly aliphatic. The presence of a broad absorption feature centered at 6.2 mu m, probably arising from olefinic/aromatic structures, corresponds to the backbone of this carbonaceous material, which is the major carbon-containing component of the interstellar medium along this line of sight.
