Abstract
The structures of four stereomers (enantiomers) of photochromic indolinospirobenzothiopyran (ISTP) in the closed form were studied by the DFT method. The most stable structure was found. IR spectra of ISTP in KBr pellets and as a film on single-crystalline KBr plates (in the region 400–4000 cm −1 ) and as a powder between polyethylene plates (100–400 cm −1 ) were measured. An interpretation of the obtained IR spectra was proposed. Specific features of normal modes of ISTP caused by the presence of the spiro center were revealed.
