UV resonance Raman [RR] spectra are reported for dUMP, dTMP, dCMP, dGMP and dAMP in dilute (5 .times. 10-3 M) aqueous solution. Excitation (266, 240, 218 and 200 nm) was generated with a frequency-quadrupled Nd:YAG laser (266 nm) and a H2 Raman shifter operated at the first, second and third anti-Stokes lines. The spectra contain vibrational bands due to the in-plane modes of the purine and pyrimidine rings and show large alterations among the 4 wavelengths in the enhancement patterns. These changes are helpful in resolving overlapped bands and making assignments (e.g., of the dUMP C4.dbd.O and C2.dbd.O stretches, at 1674 and 1686 cm-1). The enhancements are discussed in the light of mode assignments (from previous normal coordinate calculations) and the character of the excited states, as deduced from previous CNDO [complete neglect of differential overlap] calculations. For dUMP and dTMP the enhancements are interpreted in terms of resonance with electronic transitions based on the C6.dbd.C5-C4.dbd.O and C2.dbd.O fragments at long and short wavelengths, respectively. However, the strengths of bands at 1230 (dUMP) and 1244 (dTMP) cm-1 are anomalous and suggest a need for normal mode revisions. For dGMP and dAMP, the intensities are consistent with a N7.dbd.C8 localized transition at long wavelengths and a series of triene-based transitions throughout the UV region. An instance of vibronic (B term) enhancement is suggested for dGMP, in resonance with a weak transition at 215 nm. RR spectra are reported for an equimolar mixture of dTMP, dCMP, dGMP and dAMP, and the major contributors are identified at each wavelength. The enhancement variations give promise for isolating the key bands associated with the individual bases in RR spectra of nucleic acids.
