title: Vibrational spectra of 1-methyluracilate complex with silver(I) and theoretical studies of the 1-MeU anion.
abstract: The FT-Raman and FT-infrared spectra of (1-methyluracilato)silver, [Ag(C(5)H(5)N(2)O(2))] in the solid state have been studied. The complex is a polymer in which one silver ion is linearly bonded to two 1-MeU ligands through the deprotonated N(3) sites and another silver ion is tetrahedrally coordinated to the four 1-MeU ligands through the O2 and O4 carbonyl oxygen atoms. The harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities of the N(3)-deprotonated 1-methyluracilate anion have been calculated using density functional (B3LYP) and ab initio (HF and MP2) methods with the 6-31G(d,p) and 6-31++G(df,pd) basis sets. The calculated potential energy distribution (PED) for the 1-MeU anion has proved to be of great help in assigning the spectra of the title complex. It can be concluded that the two strong Raman bands at 1263 and 796 cm(-1) are diagnostic for the N3-deprotonation of the 1-methyluracilate ring and complexation with silver ion. The linear N-Ag-N stretching vibrations are assigned to the bands at 448 and 362 cm(-1) (IR) and 453, 362 cm(-1) (Raman). The Ag-O stretching vibrations are assigned to the bands in the range of 280-250 cm(-1).
