Abstract
The gas-phase InfraRed Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) spectra in the fingerprint region of the anion (m/z 163) and mono-deprotonated homodimer of 9-methyl-guanine (2, m/z 329) and its d5 analogue (2-d5) are reported here. The anionic dimer is reverse Watson-Crick paired with the hydrogen bonding pattern ADD/DAA (where A stands for acceptor and D stands for donor), in which the site of negative charge is unambiguously found to be N1. The match between experimental vibrational spectra and DFT-computed spectra is good with the exception of the region between 2000 and 2900 cm−1 that contains symmetrical and antisymmetrical N–H stretches of the adjacent hydrogen-bond donor-donor pair.
