Abstract

A new high-temperature pulsed slit jet source has enabled the first observation of a rotationally resolved vibrational spectrum of a nucleotide base. The spectrum, centered at 1703.888 cm−1, has been assigned to the fundamental out-of-phase mixed carbonyl stretching vibration of the diketo tautomer of uracil, clarifying an ambiguous assignment from low-resolution studies.
