General description

2-Thiocytosine is a potential antileukemic and anticancer agent. 2-Thiocytosine in solid state has been investigated by (1)H-(14)N NMR-NQR double resonance (NQDR) spectroscopy and theoretically by the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM)/density functional theory (DFT).

Application

2-Thiocytosine has been used to investigate the reactions involved in hole transfer (HT) in X-irradiated doped cytosine monohydrate.

2-Thiocytosine (s2Cyt) and 5-fluoro-2-thiocytosine (f5s2Cyt) were studied by means of IR spectroscopy under different environmental conditions: isolated in low-temperature inert gas matrices, associated in thin amorphous and polycrystalline films. The compounds isolated in matrices were only very slightly influenced by
