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.
