Abstract
The nature of intermolecular interactions for anthrone and anthraquinone differs due to the symmetry of substitution of the central benzene ring, i.e. anthrone substituted with only one keto group and anthraquinone substituted with two keto groups. In order to interpret the interactions among the molecules, the interaction energies between molecules in crystals were calculated using DFT B3LYP calculations. The results reveal the consistency between calculated “lattice energies” and theirs terms and thermodynamical properties as density, boiling point and melting point of examined compounds.
