The butterfly effect (a small change can have large repercussions): Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) was used to probe the reactivities of purine derivatives. A change of the substituent at the C6 position of adenine strongly affects the ion yield of the closed‐shell dehydrogenated anion (see picture), although the hydrogen loss can be ascribed exclusively to the diametric N9 position.
