Abstract Absorption and emission spectra of 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin [6,7-DHC] in aqueous solution over a wide pH range are reported. The absorption spectra proved to be strongly sensitive to the pH-value of the solution, whereas the emission spectra change in this range only insignificantly. An interpretation is attempted on the basis of the differences of the acid-base properties of the 6,7-DHC molecule in its ground and excited singlet state. For this purpose the pKa's and pKax's values have been calculated. It has been stated that in the excited state the phototautomer form is very unlikely.

Photochemical reactions of thymine linked to hypoxanthine or imidazole by a trimethylene chain were studied in aqueous solution. Irradiation (λ = 254 nm) of thymine-hypoxanthine pair yielded two internal cycloadducts with azetidine and cyclobutane part structures. Sensitization and quenching experiments suggested that the excited singlet was the reactive state in the photo-cycloaddition reactions. Only cyclobutanes were isolated from irradiated (λ = 290 nm) solutions of thymine-imidazole pairs. Photocycloadditions were reversible upon irradiation at λ = 254 nm

Concentration effects in fluorescence spectra, resulting from transient dimer formation in excited singlet states, have been studied in the presence of a detergent in aqueous solution. 2-methyl-naphthalene and pyrene have been used as fluorescers, and cetyl-dimethyl-benzylammonium-chloride as the detergent. The intensity ratio of dimer to monomer fluorescence components has been measured for dilution of the fluorescer alone and also of fluorescer and detergent. The results show that with 2-methyl-naphthalene transient dimer formation depends on the fluorescer concentration within the micelles. With pyrene, where dimer formation occurs at very low concentrations, it seems to depend on the number of single fluorescer molecules per micelle.
