Lithium cationization of cytosine, thymine, adenine and guanine leads to the formation of multiply lithiated nucleobases. Upon collision‐induced decomposition, these lithium complexes eliminate neutral lithium atom, presumably from species in which lithium has replaced the exchangeable hydrogens. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
