| contents | We have studied the effect of microhydration on the shape resonances of uracil nucleobase. The resonance parameters were determined using the resonance via Padé approach along with the efficient wave function-based EA-EOM-DLPNO-CCSD method. Our results showed that the uracil resonances become stabilized with an increase in the extent of microsolvation. The energy of the resonances decreased, and the lifetime increased as the number of water molecules surrounding uracil was increased. It showed that ten water molecules are sufficient to make the lowest shape resonance of uracil a bound radical anionic state. Our results also indicate that the lowest energy resonance state may become a bound state under bulk solvation. |
