چکیده
The transient IR absorption spectrum for UV-excited i-motif DNA is reported for the first time and found to possess complex dynamics pointing to multiple decay processes, including possible charge transfer between packed hemi-protonated C bases.

Electronically excited states of DNA oligonucleotides with disordered base sequences studied by fluorescence spectroscopy.
DNA double-stranded oligomers are studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy from the femtosecond to the nanosecond time-scale, following excitation at 267 nm. It is shown that emission arises from three types of excited states. (i) Bright ππ* states emitting around 330 nm and decaying on the sub-picosecond time-scale with an average lifetime of ca. 0.4 ps and a quantum...
متن کاملA comparative picosecond transient infrared study of 1-methylcytosine and 5'-dCMP that sheds further light on the excited states of cytosine derivatives.
The role of N1-substitution in controlling the deactivation processes in photoexcited cytosine derivatives has been explored using picosecond time-resolved IR spectroscopy. The simplest N1-substituted derivative, 1-methylcytosine, exhibits relaxation dynamics similar to the cytosine nucleobase and distinct from the biologically relevant nucleotide and nucleoside analogues, which have longer-liv...

Picosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy was used to elucidate early photochemical processes in the diazido complexes M(Cp*)(N3)2(PPh3), M = Rh (), Ir (), using 266 nm and 400 nm excitation in THF, CH2Cl2, MeCN and toluene solutions. The time-resolved data have been interpreted with the aid of DFT calculations on vibrational spectra of the singlet ground states and triplet excited states ...
متن کاملUltrafast IR spectroscopy of polymeric cytosine nucleic acids reveal the long-lived species is due to a localised state.
The decay pathways of UV-excited cytosine polymers are investigated using picosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. Similar yields of a non-emissive (1)nπ* state are found in the single-stranded dC(30) polymer as in the dCMP monomer, but with a longer lifetime in the polymer (80 ps vs. 39 ps). A longer lifetime is also found in the d(CpC) dinucleotide. No evidence of excimer states is obs...
