Abstract

The electronic absorption spectra of excited-state 1,5-naphthyridine from 400 to 650 nm are reported in several solvents. The time evolution of these spectra indicate that they arise from one or more Sn←S1 transitions. Comparison of these observed spectra with calculated excited state absorption spectra obtained using the INDO molecular orbital formalism demonstrates excellent agreement of the transition energies and oscillator strengths with Sn(1Au)←S1(1Bg,nπ*) transitions. These results conclusively identify the lowest excited singlet state of 1,5-naphthyridine as 1Bg(1nπ*).
