A complete calculation has been performed for the infrared spectrum of
the molecule of 3,3'-dichloroindathrone, including vibration frequenc
ies and intensities and the spectral curve. The satisfactory agreement
that has been obtained between the calculated and experimental spectr
a has made it possible to interpret the spectrum in detail, to determi
ne the characteristic spectral regions for manifestation of vibrations
that pertain in form to such structural fragments of the molecule as
the anthraquinone fragment, the nitrogen-containing ring, and the ring
that embodies a hydrogen bond; and to obtain information on the sensi
tivity of vibrations to chlorination of indanthrone. The features that
have been revealed have the character of a spectrum/structure correla
tion and can be used for analytical purposes.
