Ab initio self-consistent field molecular orbital (SCF MO) calculation
s have been made of the thymine molecule for the equilibrium geometry,
harmonic force constants, vibrational frequencies, vibrational modes,
infrared intensities, and Raman intensities. The results have been co
rrelated with the observed Raman and infrared spectra of thymine cryst
alline powder. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
