IR spectra of anthracene and pyrene derivatives, serving as models for isolated, linear and isolated, compact PAHs, respectively, have been calculated using ab-initio quantum mechanical methods. The separate and combined effects of ionization and multiple dehydrogenation have been studied. This study confirms and refines the trends of our preliminary paper on the smallest possible PAH, naphthalene. If small PAHs are responsible for any UIR bands, they should be ionized and partially dehydrogenated, with a few triple bonds at the periphery of the carbon skeleton.
