High-resolution electron spectroscopy and structures of lithium-nucleobase (adenine, uracil, and thymine) complexes

Abstract

adenine (32240±5 cm-1), whereas their metal-ligand bond dissociation energies are about the same, (92-97) ±6 kJ mol-1. For all three complexes, the neutral bond energies are smaller than those of the corresponding ions due to a weaker electrostatic interaction and stronger electron repulsion. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
