5-Selenocyanato-2'-deoxyuridine (SeCNdU) is a recently proposed radiosensitizer based on 2'-deoxyuridine (dU) with the electron-affinic selenocyanato (-SeCN) side group attached at the C5 position of uracil. Since electron interaction processes may be an important source of DNA damage by ionizing radiation, we have studied low-energy dissociative electron attachment to SeCNdU in the gas phase. Negative ion formation has been obtained by means of mass spectrometry, where a rich fragmentation pattern is observed even at ∼0 eV. The reaction pathways exhibiting the highest ion yields are C4N2O2H2Se•- and CN-, both involving a cleavage of the Se-CN bond. The heaviest fragment anion observed is C9N2O5H10Se•-, where besides the charged species, the hydrogen and cyano radicals are also formed. Further decomposition channels also yield the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, which possesses a high DNA damage potential. All observed channels have experimentally determined onsets at 0 eV, which are supported by calculations performed at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level. The calculations comprise the thermochemical thresholds at standard and experimental (428.15 K, 3 × 10-11 atm) conditions together with the adiabatic electron affinities. The present study shows that low-energy electrons very effectively decompose SeCNdU upon attachment of thermal electrons, producing a large variety of charged fragments and radicals.
