Abstract
The ligands containing nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen as donor atoms have been reported to play an important role in anticancer and antiviral activities. Recent spectroscopic studies 1-5 of uracil derivatives and their metal complexes have been motivated by their biological importance. 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil is an interesting ligand, since coordination may occur through two nitrogen atoms of pyrimidine ring, C2=S, C4=O and COO groups. In the present work, we describe the preparation and characterization of the complex of Cu(II) with 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil.
