The effect of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) association on the diketo/keto-enol tautomerism of thymine has been investigated through the use of B3LYP density functional theory calculations. Final energies were obtained at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. Ni(II) and Cu(II) lead to an oxidation of thymine which for Zn(II) is only partial and catalyze the tautomerization process, this catalytic effect being much larger for Ni2+ and Zn2+ than for Cu2+. One of the most significant consequences of the oxidation of the base is that the calculated BDE’s are primarily dictated by the value of the second ionization potential of the metal, and therefore follow the sequence Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Zn2+. Also importantly, metal dication association leads to a stabilization of the keto-enol tautomer, which becomes the most stable form upon interaction with Ni2+ and Zn2+. This stabilization enhancement is the consequence of three concomitant factors, namely, (i) a stronger interaction of the metal cation with the carbonyl oxygen, (ii) the interaction of the metal with the dehydrogenated ring nitrogen, (iii) an aromatization of the six-membered ring.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
