Abstract
UV photoelectron spectra of hypoxanthine, xanthine, and caffeine, up to 20 eV, were calculated and compared with the experimental spectra reported in literature. The calculations were performed using a novel version of the quantum mechanical symmetry‐adapted cluster/configuration interaction (SAC‐CI) method termed, direct SAC‐CI. The Duning/Huzinaga valance double‐zeta D95+(d,p) Gaussian basis set was also employed with this method. The ionization energies and intensities were calculated, and the corresponding spectral bands were assigned. Natural bonding orbital (NBO) calculations were employed for better spectral band assignment. The calculated ionization energies and intensities reasonably produced the experimental photoelectron spectra. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2011
