Tutton KZn(SO)(HO) salt: Structural-vibrational properties as a function of temperature and ab initio calculations.

In this work, a thorough study of Tutton KZn(SO)(HO) crystal was performed. Structural, electronic, vibrational, and thermal properties were analyzed and discussed. Calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) were performed to provide a correct assignment of vibration modes (90 active Raman and 93 active IR), and analyses of band structure and density of states.

Physicochemical properties calculated using DFT method and changes of 5-methyluridine hemihydrate crystals at high temperatures.

5-methyluridine hemihydrate (5 mU) single crystals were synthesized by the slow solvent evaporation method. The physicochemical properties, such as frontier molecular orbitals, global reactivity indices and vibrational were computationally studied through density functional theory (DFT). In addition, structural, vibrational, and thermal properties were obtained by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
