In-Depth Information
The present work provides a comprehensive characterisation of the pyrimidine
molecule and suggests an effective methodology for the investigation and inter-
pretation of the dynamics of its fragmentation. These results provide benchmark
data for the interpretation of the fragmentation dynamics of the halogen substituted
pyrimidine molecules and are expected to shine some light on possible fundamental
chemical physical mechanisms of the radiosensitising effects.
