Abstract:Understanding the role of metal ions in living organisms and their interactions with biological compounds is fundamental for our health and for developing technological devices for bioinorganic applications. In this work, structural aspects and photophysical mechanisms involved in the luminescence of the Zn(II)−guanine complex in water were studied by using computational quantum chemical methods, providing molecular-level explanations for reported experimental findings. Structural aspects were investigated wit… Show more
