✦ Synopsis

The i.r. spectral studies ofcytosine and its d,-deuterated derivative isolated in Ar and Ne matrices are reported. The amino-hydroxy and the amino-ox0 tautomeric forms dominate in matrices. Separation of the i.r. spectra of the two tautomers was based on observation of spectral changes following U.V. irradiation of the matrix. Detailed analysis and interpretation of the spectra was performed.
