Structure and properties of the thiobarbituric acid–malonaldehyde chromogen

Abstract
An X-ray crystallographic study supported by 1H n.m.r. provides unequivocal evidence that the chromogen formed from the reaction of malonaldehyde with 4,6-dihydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine (thiobarbituric acid) is the highly stable delocalised anion (2) from 5,5′-(propane-1,3-diylidene)bis-(2-thioxopyrimidine-4,6-dione).
