Redox potentials are of importance in understanding the charge/electron transfer processes involved in nucleic acids. In this study, the protocol of the B3LYP/6-311++G(2df,2p)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d) in gas phase and the HF-COSMORS/UAHF for the solvation energy calculations at the HF-CPCM/UAHF re-optimized solution geometries in aqueous solution, as implemented in the Gaussian 03 programs, has been established to predict the redox potentials of the aromatic compounds in aqueous solution. In comparison with the 82 experimental redox potentials, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) is only 0.124 V. This scheme has been employed successfully to calculate the redox potentials of various nucleobases and the metabolites. The structural and charge/electron transfer impact on the redox potentials was discussed. The implications to the design of new redox-active nucleobase derivatives were suggested.
