Theoretical Carbon K-Edge X-ray Absorption Signatures of Twisted Intermediates and Hydration Reactivity in UV-Excited Nucleosides
{{output}}
Ultraviolet excitation of pyrimidine nucleosides leads to the ultrafast formation of a ground-state twisted intermediate featuring a highly distorted C5═C6 double bond. Here, we present a theoretical study on the feasibility of carbon K-edge X-ray absorption ... ...
