Abstract
The solvation of benzimidazole, 4-azabenzimidazole, purine, adenine, uracil, thymine, and cytosine in water and methanol was determined by a combination of calorimetric and spectral analysis. Specific enthalpies have been assigned to each interaction site in the first solvation shell. Calculations, based on the enthalpies of hydrogen bond formation with water, and estimates for intermolecular hydrogen bond enthalpies, show that the self-association of purine and adenine in water through hydrogen bonded interactions is enthalpically possible.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
