Resumo

The i.r. absorption spectra of two simultaneously existing tautomers]—4-oxopyrimidine and 4- hydroxypyrimidine—isolated in several inert gas matrices are reported, and interpreted with the aid of ab initio 3–21G normal coordinate calculations. The phototautomeric effect, i.e. the change of the tautomeric form oxo → hydroxy upon u.v. irradiation is observed and used to separate the spectra of both tautomers.
