The absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetimes, fluorescence quenching, phosphorescence spectra, phosphorescence lifetimes, and picosecond transient absorption spectra of several purinyl-pyridinium salts have been measured in several solvents at room temperature and in ethanol glasses at 77 K. It is concluded that the previously observed photochemical transformation of N-[9-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)purin-6-yl]pyridinium chloride 1 into the highly fluorescent tri-O-acetylluminarosine 6 occurs via an excited triplet state. It is also shown that intersystem crossing in purinyl-pyridinium salts is induced by an intermolecular charge-transfer interaction with the counter ions. Keywords: purinyl-pyridinium salts, fluorescence, phosphorescence.

Water solubility of phthalocyanines (Pcs) usually increases by the introduction of charged or carboxy substituents in the peripheral positions of the macrocycle. As a result, such structural changes influence their photophysical and photochemical properties as photosensitizers. Phthalocyanines substituted with four or eight terminal carboxyl groups and having in some cases additional eight positive charges (water soluble phthalocyanines) were studied in order to evaluate the spectroscopic and photophysical effects of these side residues on the chromophore properties. The quantum yield of singlet oxygen (O12) generation, the triplet-triplet absorption, and the transient absorption spectra were measured and linked to the structure of the substituents. It was shown that charged substituents did not change the quantum yields ofO12generation but decrease its lifetimes. The introduction of the charged substituents not only increases the water solubility but also significantly changes absorption, fluorescence, and transient absorption spectra of water soluble Pcs.

The transient absorption spectra of the title compounds in solutions at room temperature have been measured on the picosecond time scale. For 9-acetylanthracene and acridine there were measurable changes of the spectral shapes in the first picosecond region, while no spectral change was observed for benzophenone.
