Abstract Computational chemistry can be applied to vibrational spectroscopy in different ways, such as for a better characterization and assignment of all the bands of the experimental spectra, as a tool in the identification of the tautomers present in the gas phase and in the solid state through their spectra and for the simulation of the solid and liquid phase of a compound and the consequent simulation and interpretation of their spectra. In the present study, as an example of the applicability of computational chemistry, the structure and spectra of cytosine and uracil nucleic acid bases and two cytosine derivatives are shown. The FTIR and Raman spectra were analysed with the support of ab initio (Hartree-Fock (HF), MP2) and density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP, PBE, B-P, etc.) calculations using several basis sets and several scaling equations. The calculations predict an easier tautomerization of cytosine than uracil molecule, but the tautomerization is hindered in the 5-bromocytosine molecule. Thus, in the solid state, this molecule only exists in the amino-oxo tautomeric form.
