## Abstract The nature of interaction of Co(III) complexes such as Co(III)EDTA and Co(III)NTA with transient adducts of thymine such as TOH^Λ^, T^Λβ^, and TH^Λ^ formed in the gamma radiolysis of thymine were studied. The study shows that TOH radicals do not undergo electron transfer reaction with C
It was determined in ab initio calculations that an electron can attach to thymine, forming a stable anion. The electron is attached predominantly to the positive end of the molecular dipole moment; however, some contribution from the covalent character is also present. The adiabatic electron affini
