We report spectroscopy of clusters of guanine base pairs with one and two water molecules. We recorded the vibronic spectra of the mass-selected GG(H2O) and GG(H2O)2 clusters using resonant two photon ionization (R2PI) and we used IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy to obtain ground state IR spectra of these clusters. We found that a single water molecule stabilizes one of two structures we had previously found for guanine dimers. Addition of a second water molecule causes no further structural change.
我们报告了含有一个和两个水分子的鸟嘌呤碱基对簇的光谱研究。我们使用共振双光子电离(R2PI)记录了质量选择的GG(H₂O)和GG(H₂O)₂簇的振转光谱,并使用红外-紫外双共振光谱获得了这些簇的基态红外光谱。我们发现,单个水分子稳定了我们之前在鸟嘌呤二聚体中发现的两种结构之一。添加第二个水分子不会导致进一步的结构变化。
