Binding of urea and thiourea with a barbiturate derivative: experimental and theoretical approach.
A barbiturate derivative [1,5-dihydro-5-[5-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dionyl]-2H-chromeno[2,3-d] pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dione)] (L1) possesses functionalities complementary to amide and thioamide. Hence its binding with urea and thiourea, is monitored using UV-vis and fluorescence titrations as well as isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) study. Theoretical studies on hydrogen-bonded complexes of L1-urea and L1-thiourea in the gas phase, aqueous, and DMSO medium are carried out using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G** level. The theoretical calculations support the experimental results.
