Popis: Based upon an analysis of the absorption spectra, the fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra, and the lifetime of the excited states of aqueous solutions (pH 7.4) of 2,3-dimethoxy-8-azagona-1,3,5(10),13-tetraene-12,17-dione, it is established that two centers of different type exist: one emits long-wave (L-centers) and the other short-wave (S-centers) fluorescence. Irradiation of solutions increases the number of L-centers and greatly decreases that of S-centers. Examination of the picosecond transient absorption spectra and their kinetics revealed that the initial photochemical stage is defined as the ionization of a considered molecule and the subsequent one, as the formation, most probably, of the dehydroderivative of a parent molecule. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
