The nucleophilic addition properties of carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2*-) towards N1-substituted thymine derivatives in aqueous solution is studied for comparison with their one-electron reducing reactivity. N2O-Saturated aqueous solutions of 1-methylthymine, 1,3-dimethylthymine, and thymidylyl(3'-->5')-thymidine containing excess formate ions were gamma-irradiated

Single crystals of the complex 1-methylthymine.9-methyl-adenine were X -irradiated at 10 and at 65 K and studied in the temperature range 10 to 290 K using K-band EPR, ENDOR and field-swept ENDOR (FSE) techniques. The EPR and ENDOR spectra are

Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with the anions of the model nucleobases 1-methylthymine (1-MethyH), 1-methyluracil (1-MeuraH), and 1-methylcytosine (1-MecytH) of the types [Pd(dmba)(mu-L)]2 [dmba = N,C-chelating 2-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl; L = 1-Methy, 1-Meura or 1-Mecyt] and [M(dmba)(L)(L')] [L = 1-Methy or 1-Meura; L'

We have computationally explored how the relative stabilities of 1-methyluracil (1-MeUH) tautomers can be tuned through coordination of these tautomers to Pt(II) complexes with a particular set of ligands. This has been done using density functional theory at the BP86/TZ2P

Planar H-bonded and stacked structures of guanine...cytosine (G.C), adenine...thymine (A...T), 9-methylguanine...1-methylcytosine (mG...mC), and 9-methyladenine...1-methylthymine (mA...mT) were optimized at the RI-MP2 level using the TZVPP ([5s3p2d1f/3s2p1d]) basis set. Planar H-bonded structures of G...C, mG...mC, and A...T correspond to the Watson-Crick (WC)
