Abstract: | Twelve H-bonded supersystems constructed between the adenine tautomers and methanol, ethanol, and i-propanol were studied
at the B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory using 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis functions. The thermodynamic parameters of
the complex formations were calculated in order to estimate the exact stability of the supersystems. It was proven that the
calculated energy barriers of the alcohol-assisted proton transfers are about 60% lower than those of the intramolecular proton
transfers in adenine found earlier (Gu and Leszczynski in J Phys Chem A 103:2744–2750, 1999).
