Abstract
The solvent effects on the photophysical and photochemical properties of lumiflavin are studied. By comparing different models for the aqueous environment including gas-phase ab-initio calculations, explicit solvation, continuum solvation model and QM/MM simulations the different aspects of solvation are singled out and analysed in detail. Dimerisation of flavins and its effects on the absorption and emission spectrum of flavins are studied using quantum chemical methods. The absorption and emission spectra of lumiflavin in water are compared to the properties of dimeric lumiflavin and to available experimental data.
