Vibrational frequencies and assignments for some isotopomers of urcail using a scaled ab initio force field

Vibrational frequencies and IR band intensities for 18 isotopomers of uracil, including deuterated ¹⁵N and ¹⁸O species, have been calculated using the scaled ab initio force field of Ref. 1. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data, and a number of refinements in former assignments are proposed. The good agreement between the calculated and experimental frequencies confirms the reliability of the scaled quantum mechanical-force field.
