Abstract
Motivated by possible astrophysical and biological applications we calculate visible and near UV spectral lines of proflavine (C 13H 11N 3, 3,6-diaminoacridine) in vacuum, as well as its anion, cation, and dication. The pseudopotential density functional and time-dependent density functional methods are used. We find a good agreement in spectral line positions calculated by two real-time propagation methods and the Lanczos chain method. Spectra of proflavine and its ions show characteristic UV lines which are good candidates for a detection of these molecules in interstellar space and various biological processes.
