Abstract:
The Raman and IR spectra of the biomolecule 5-aminoorotic acid in the solid state were simulated by a dimer and tetramer forms, with the special interest in the interactions that involve the NH and NH(2) groups. The unit cell expected in the crystal was simulated as a tetramer form by density functional calculations. They were performed to clarify wavenumber assignments of the experimentally observed bands in the spectra. Correlations with the molecule of uracil were made, and accurate scaling procedures deduced by us were employed in the calculated wavenumbers of 5-aminoorotic acid. Good reproduction of the experimental wavenumbers is obtained and the % error is very small in the majority of cases. This fact confirms our simplified solid state model. The scaling leads to a reassignment of the IR and Raman experimental bands. The NBO atomic charges and several thermodynamic parameters were also calculated.
