Cold dissociation: Thymine and adenine are embedded within extremely cold superfluid 4 He droplets (see picture) and exposed to electrons with energies up to 15 eV. The only significant dissociative attachment channel is formation of a dehydrogenated nucleobase anion. This differs dramatically from the many different anionic products observed with isolated molecules at 400 K.
