Non-radiative processes in protonated diazines, pyrimidine bases and an aromatic azine

Résumé

The excited state lifetimes of DNA bases are often very short due to very efficient non-radiative processes assigned to the pp*–np* coupling. A set of protonated aromatic diazine molecules (pyridazine, pyrimidine and pyrazine C4H5N2+) and protonated pyrimidine DNA bases (cytosine, uracil and thymine), as well as the protonated pyridine (C5H6N+), have been investigated. For all these molecules except one tautomer of protonated uracil (enol–keto), electronic spectroscopy exhibits vibrational line broadening. Excited state geometry optimization at the CC2 level has been conducted to find out whether the excited state lifetimes measured from line broadening can be correlated to the calculated ordering of the pp* and np* states and the pp*–np* energy gap. The short lifetimes, observed when one nitrogen atom of the ring is not protonated, can be rationalized by relaxation of the pp* state to the np* state or directly to the electronic ground state through ring puckering.
