摘要

The ultrafast radiationless decay mechanism for cytosine has been shown to be in part dependent upon high vertical excitation, while slower fluorescence displayed in some cytosine analogs is generally linked to lower vertical excitation energies. To probe how excitation energies relate to pyrimidine structure, substituent effects on the vertical excitation energies for a number of derivatives of 2-pyrimidin-(1H)-one (2P) have been calculated using multireference configuration-interaction ab initio methods. Substitutions using groups with pi electron donating, withdrawing and conjugation-extending properties at the C~4 and C~5 positions on the 2P system give predictive trends for the first three singlet excited-state energies. The S_1 pi pi* energies of 2P derivatives involving C~4 substitution vary linearly with the Hammett substituent parameter sigma_P~+. Cytosine is shown to have the highest bright pi pi* energy of the 2P derivatives presented, with that energy being strongly dependent on the position, orientation, and geometry of the C~4-amino. A simple description of the predictive energetic trends for the bright pi pi* energies using frontier molecular orbital theory is presented, based on the character of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals for each derivative. The results of this study expand the current understanding of the photophysical behavior of the DNA pyrimidine bases and could be useful in the design of analogs where particular spectral properties are desired.
