Abstract
The study of charge density and electrostatic properties in adeninium hydrochloride hemihydrate and 1H+-adeniniumtrichlorozinc( II) is part of a broader investigation into the effects of substituents, protonation and bound metal ions on electron density distributions in some nucleobase derivatives. Any redistribution of electron density might be expected to influence the hydrogen-bonding capability of the base. In this study, we are looking for effects on the electron density and electrostatic potential in protonated adenine caused by the coordination of zinc to N7.
