Single crystals of cytosine monohydrate and its copper(II) complex were grown by slow evaporation in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The solubility studies were carried out at different temperatures in deionized water. Cytosine monohydrate and the copper(II) complex of cytosine were characterized by recording IR, Raman and UV spectra. The various vibrational modes of the crystals have been classified using factor group and site group analysis. Vibrational assignments were proposed for both the systems based on the spectral investigations.
