Abstract

Abstract A vibrational assignment of the isolated uracil molecule is presented, based on ir and Raman spectra of uracil trapped in argon and nitrogen matrices and ir spectra of seven deuterated derivatives of uracil isolated in argon matrices. The observed spectra agree well with previous quantum mechanical calculations. The relationships observed between the monomer bands, bands due to associated uracil in argon matrices and the spectrum of the ...
