Abstract
Absorption and emission spectra, depopulation kinetics of the lowest excited singlet and triplet states and acid-base equilibria of two fluorescent vitamin B, derivatives, the products I and II of the reaction of N-methylated vitamine B, with cytidine and adenosine, respectively, were investigated. Analysis of the lifetime and quantum yield data indicate that at 77 K emissions are the main processes of deactivation of the S1 and T1 states for the free ion and protonated forms. The pKa values indicate a much higher acidity in the excited singlet and triplet states than in the ground state. I and II undergo very slow photochemical reactions in solution in the presence of oxygen (Φ ~ 10-4).
