“…The DFT calculations revealed that in the gas phase 6-TG exists predominantly as the N1,9(H) amino-thiol form, which is in good agreement with the results of previous experimental and theoretical ab initio and semiempirical studies, 28-30 whereas the N1,7(H) amino-thione form is the favored tautomeric form in solids, which is in agreement with results of the X-ray and IR and Raman studies. 13,31,32 6-MP differing only in the presence of -NH 2 group, exists in the gas phase predominantly as the N9(H) amino-thiol form, whereas the N1,9(H) amino-thione form is the favored tautomeric form in anhydrous solids. 14 The correlation between the 14 N NQR frequencies obtained in experiment and those calculated by DFT, assuming the monomer of the most stable amino-thione N1,7(H) form of 6-TG, is only fairly good (the correlation coefficient is 0.889 and the standard deviation is 0.494 MHz) with proton optimization in a single molecule but improves significantly under assumption of pentamers, Figure 4a.…”
