<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>

Influence Of Solvent

Twisting of the NMe2 group in p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) was investigated using AM1 semiempirical method with configuration interaction. Effect of polar media was considered by placing + and - charge centers ("sparkles") at appropriate places opposite the molecule. Optimized ground state geometry of DMABN is slightly twisted with the lowest vertical excited state of 1B character. As the polarity of media increases and/or the - NMe2 group twists, the symmetric 1A excited state having considerable charge separation becomes energetically favorable. Anomalous long-wavelength emission of DMABN comes from this state.
