[Structure and physicochemical properties of isolated molecules of reumycin]

IR and electron spectra of an uracil derivative (antitumor antibiotic reumycin) were studied by low temperature spectroscopy. The experimental data corresponded to the quantum chemistry calculations of electron transmission. On the basis of the spectra interpretation the molecular structure of the reumycin isolated molecules was suggested. pKa of reumycin in aqueous medium was determined by UV spectroscopy.
