Vibrational spectral measurements were made for 9-anthracenemethanol. Optimized geometrical structure and harmonic vibration frequencies were computed based on ab initio and density functional theory B3LYP methods using 6-311G∗∗ and LANL2DZ basis sets. The equilibrium geometries got from all of the methods and basis were compared with X-ray diffraction results. The IR and UV–vis spectra of the title compound were computed using ...
