Solid state infrared and Raman spectra of thymine, thymine monohydrate, three types of chloro(thyminato‐N1)ethylenediamineplatinum(II) complexes and three types of potassium thyminate (trihydrate, monohydrate, anhydrous compound) are reported and compared. The effects of hydrogen bonding, intermolecular coupling, crystal symmetry and tautomerism are discussed. For the anhydrous potassium thyminate a tautomeric structure, different from that found in the tri‐ and monohydrate, is postulated.
