Abstract

We review here the photoionization and photoelectron spectroscopy of the gas phase nucleic acid bases adenine, thymine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine, as well as the three base analogues 2-hydroxyisoquinoline, 2-pyridone, and δ-valerolactam in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectral regime. The chapter focuses on experimental work performed with VUV synchrotron radiation and related ab initio quantum chemical calculations of higher excited states beyond the ionization energy. After a general part, where experimental and theoretical techniques are described in detail, key results are presented by order of growing complexity in the spectra of the molecules. Here we concentrate on (1) the accurate determination of ionization energies of isolated gas phase NABs and investigation of the vibrational structure of involved ionic states, including their mutual vibronic couplings, (2) the treatment of tautomerism after photoionization, in competition with other intramolecular processes, (3) the study of fragmentation of these molecular systems at low and high internal energies, and (4) the study of the evolution of the covalent character of hydrogen bonding upon substitution, i.e., examination of electronic effects (acceptor, donor, etc.).
