“…According to experimental data obtained by UV‐spectroscopy, uracil exists as dioxo tautomer A in the condensed phase . The stability orders of substituted uracils calculated by ab initio (MP2 and RI‐MP2) as well as DFT methods (B3LYP, M05‐2X) in different media also indicate the predomination of form A over the remaining tautomers. In an aqueous solution, the tautomers are distributed in the following order of stability: …”

“…11 On the one hand, these dis crepancies can be due to the fact that the G 298 values used to calculate the concentrations of tautomers in solutions (see Table 2) were computed ignoring specific solvation, which can introduce considerable errors. 16,26, 27 On the other hand, the results of calculations based on spectro scopic data 11 can also include errors owing to the use of the chemical shift of the C(5) atom in the triazole ring of free aminotriazole bases as the "model" value of the signal of tautomer A, while the effect of protonation of the pyri dine ring on the chemical shift of the C(5) atom in tauto mers A was ignored.…”
The molecular and crystal structures and tautomerism of protonated isomeric 3 pyridyl substituted 5 amino 1H 1,2,4 triazoles were studied within the framework of density function al theory and by X ray analysis. According to B3LYP/6 311++G(2d,2p) calculations of six possible tautomeric forms A-F, tautomers A with the N protonated pyridine moiety are pre dominant in the gas phase. 5 Amino 4H 1 onium compounds (tautomers D) of higher polarity are next in stability; their relative energies decrease as follows: 3 pyridin 4 yl , 3 pyridin 3 yl , and 3 pyridin 2 yl 5 amino 4H 1,2,4 triazol 1 onium cation. A comparison of experimental 13 C NMR spectra of tautomers A and D with their NMR spectra calculated by the GIAO method showed that both tautomeric forms can coexist in comparable amounts in DMSO solutions. Tautomers A and D were detected by X ray analysis in crystals of 5 amino 3 (pyrid in 2 yl) 1H 1,2,4 triazolium salts.
“…Previous the quantum chemical calculations had shown that the diketo form of HMU ( I ) is energetically the most favorable both in the gas phase and in case of hydration . It is stabilized by the intramolecular hydrogen bond.…”
Studying the self‐assembly of uracil derivatives has great importance for biochemistry and nanotechnology. For example, modification of the sorbent surfaces by 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyluracil (HMU) enhances their adsorption activity. It is assumed that these changes are caused by the self‐assembly of the network‐like supramolecular associates of the uracil derivative on the sorbent surface. In the present work, the relative stabilities of 15 hydrogen‐bonded dimers HMU have been studied by the TPSSh/TZVP density functional theory method and the strengths of the noncovalent interactions analyzed in terms of the reduced density gradient and natural bond orbital approaches. It was found that the symmetric dimer stabilized by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds N1–H∙∙∙O–C2 (dimer 1‐1) is the most stable. This suggests that the self‐assembly of HMU should occur through the intermediate formation of the dimer 1‐1. The results may be useful for understanding the processes of self‐assembly of the uracil derivatives and the rationalized design of the uracil‐based supramolecular structures with specific properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
