Abstract :Molecular structure, tautomeric forms, vibrational modes, optic and electronic properties of 6-Aza-2-thiouracil-5-carboxylic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6A2T5CA); molecule were characterized by FT-IR, Raman, UV-VIS spectral methods and DFT method. The experimental results Show that FT-IR and Raman spectroscopic methods could be used to determine the different tautomeric forms of 6A2T5CA molecule clearly. Although title molecule has different tautomeric forms such as oxo and hydroxy because of inter molecular interactions, it has other tautomeric forms, as well due to intra molecular interaction of functional groups within the molecule. In particular, such structures change between each other depending on the solvent. Differences in some vibrational bands were observed in IR and Raman spectra of the molecule which were dissolved in ethanol and water and the solid form. These differences were observed especially in N-H and O-H functional groups. In addition, vibrational modes, optimized structures, energy values, electronic transitions and HOMO-LUMO energy values of tautomeric forms were calculated using B32LYP/6-311Ginsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2d,2p); level of theory. Experimentally obtained results were compared with theoretically obtained results and it was indicated that there was a good agreement between each other. It was also observed that the molecule has a different tautomeric form when it was dissolved in ethanol, however the molecule has another tautomeric form when it was dissolved in water.
