A change in dimerization pattern of the adeninium cation, having a carboxylic group at the N9 position, was observed due to competition between homodimerization versus cross-dimerization, which could be attributed to the conformation adopted by the protonated ligand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
