Abstract
A large amount of structural similarity between 4,5-benzindole and naphthalene and between 6,7-benzindole and indole was detected on a basis of a comparison of the absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence spectra of isomeric benzindoles with the spectra of indole and naphthalene. A great analogy between indole and 6,7-benzindole as compared with 4,5-benzindole is also observed during the formation of hydrogen bonds, as indicated by the shift in the absorption band of the NH group in the IR spectra of the investigated compounds in the presence of various proton acceptors.
