  ABSTRACT: This work aims to present a theoretical study of sensor candidate formed from Cytosine-Cu-Cytosine at DFT/BP86/ZORA/DZP level using ADF code for the significance of proposing complexes based on DNA that captures toxic adducts in the gas phase as: CO, CO2, NO, HCN, SO2, H2S and NO2. The interaction between adducts and Cytosine-Cu-Cytosine complex was analyzed by QTAIM based on electronic density ρ(r) and Laplacian of electronic density ∇2ρ(r). NCI-RDG analysis was performed and discussed. Interaction of adducts with Cytosine-Cu-Cytosine complex takes place with a transition state, and the energy barrier is lower with CO2 E(TS) = 0.26 (kcal/mol). Potential energy surface (PES) gives saddle point for the formation of two bonds Cu-N and Cu-C at E = −6.826 a.u, Cu-N = 1.96 Å and Cu-C = 2.38 Å during the interaction of HCN with Cytosine-Cu-Cytosine complex. PES analysis proved that the interaction of NO2 with Cytosine-Cu-Cytosine achieves stabilization at E = −6.781 a.u, Cu-N NO 2 = 2.057 Å and O NO 2 …H23 = 1.90 Å.
