title: Electron-induced chemistry of 5-chlorouracil.
abstract: Dissociative electron attachment to 5-chlorouracil cannot proceed directly , since the dissociative σ* state is too short-lived and autodetachment occurs rapidly. Effcient fragmentation of the chlorouracil anion radical is only possible if a nondissociative π* state is formed initially that undergoes an intersection with the σ* state at an elongated C-Cl distance.
