Energy profiles and molecular binding number (MBN) were calculated for purine and its mono‐protonated forms by the CNDO/2 algorithm. Total energy indicates that the 3,7‐species is the most stable among the protonated isomers, being insignificantly more stable than the 1,7‐analogue. Electronic energy suggests that proton may preferentially be attached to position 3. Charge densities are presented by both Mulliken's population method and CNDO/2.
