چکیده
The anionic form of p-hydroxybenzylidene-2,3-dimethylimidazolinone (HBDI) has been extensively employed as a model of the chromophore of the green fluorescence protein. The bright S1 excited state HBDI(-) has a measured lifetime of 1.4 ps in the gas-phase and is dominated by two non-radiative decay mechanisms: internal conversion and autodetachment into the neutral continuum. Here, time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to determine the yields of these two channels from which the lifetime for autodetachment was found to be ∼30 ps.

Photoelectron spectroscopy of the model GFP chromophore anion.
A photoelectron spectroscopy study of the anionic model chromophore of the green fluorescent protein is presented. From the photoelectron spectra taken at 3.496 eV, 4.62 eV, and 6.15 eV the vertical and adiabatic detachment energies are determined to be 2.8 ± 0.1 eV and 2.6 ± 0.2 eV, respectively. The vertical detachment energy is higher than the S1← S0 absorption maximum (2.57 eV) and indicate...
متن کاملhromophores of green fl uorescent protein : controlling electron emission and internal conversion
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) continues to play an important role in the biological and biochemical sciences as an efficient fluorescent probe and is also known to undergo light-induced redox transformations. Here, we employ photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations to investigate how the phenoxide moiety controls the competition between electron emission and internal conv...
متن کاملInternal conversion outcompetes autodetachment from resonances in the deprotonated tetracene anion continuum.
Photoelectron velocity-map imaging and electronic structure calculations have been used to study the temporary anion (resonance) dynamics of the closed-shell site-specific deprotonated tetracene anion (C18H11(-)) in the hv = 3.26 eV (380 nm) to 4.13 eV (300 nm) range. In accord with a recent frequency-, angle-, and time-resolved photoelectron imaging study on a related but open-shell polyaromat...
متن کاملCompetition between photodetachment and autodetachment of the 2(1)ππ* state of the green fluorescent protein chromophore anion.
Using a combination of photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and quantum chemistry calculations, we have identified competing electron emission processes that contribute to the 350-315 nm photoelectron spectra of the deprotonated green fluorescent protein chromophore anion, p-hydroxybenzylidene-2,3-dimethylimidazolinone. As well as direct electron detachment from S0, we observe resonant excit...

Frequency-, angle-, and time-resolved photoelectron imaging of gas-phase menadione (vitamin K3) radical anions was used to show that quasi-bound resonances of the anion can act as efficient doorway states to produce metastable ground electronic state anions on a sub-picosecond timescale. Several anion resonances have been experimentally observed and identified with the assistance of ab initio c...
