Abstract

In this work, we considered the formation of supramolecular assemblies of melamine-thiobarbiturate and melamine-barbiturate-thiobarbiturate. It is known that thiobarbituric acid can form many tautomers, as well as different motifs due to the change of C2=O to C2=S hydrogen bonds. We formed the crystal. The resulting crystals were studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical fluorescence microscopy, single crystal and powder (PXRD) X-ray diffraction analyses, and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ss NMR). These systems were theoretically studied using density functional theory (DFT) and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Interestingly, just as in the case of melamine barbiturate, during the crystallization process, hydrogen from the C5 moiety of thiobarbituric acid migrates to the melamine molecule. In addition, the resulting melamine thiobarbiturate crystals exhibit fluorescence behavior in the red region (~565–605 nm), while the melamine barbiturate crystals are fluorescent in the green region (512–542 nm).
