The present study examined the synthesis, characterization, and spectroscopic study of new ligand derived from the reaction of barbituric acid and isoniazid. The ligand was used to synthetize complexes of zinc and copper and these complexes were analyzed. A synthesis plan was proposed in an aqueous medium using a graphical methodology, ensuring the best conditions to obtain the products. A complete spectroscopic study of reagents was implemented to aid in the characterization of both the ligand and the complexes. The interpretation of infrared spectra and Raman was complemented with a quantum-mechanical calculation method using DFT / B3LYP and a 3-21G basis. These calculations were compared with experimental data obtained by analyzing the second derivative of the spectrum. Based on the structure proposed according to the data of CHN, NMR, and the atomic absorption; the infrared spectra with a transformed Fourier and Raman were in line with the experimental spectra. Lastly, these conclusions lead us to better understand the complexities in spectroscopic characterization of compounds derived from barbituric acid and its coordination compounds. The low solubility of barbituric acid and its derivatives in pH regions above 5 creates a mixture of hydroxide complexes which complicate the study of low energy regions, where the metal-ligand vibrational modes occur. The graphical methodology used allowed us to obtain purer crystallized products, enabling the correct spectroscopic characterization of all vibrational modes.
