Excited State Dynamics of 8-Vinyldeoxyguanosine In Aqueous Solution Studied by Time-Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Quantum Mechanical Calculations
The fluorescent base guanine analog, 8-vinyl-deoxyguanosine (8vdG), is studied in solution using a combination of optical spectroscopies, notably femtosecond fluorescence upconversion and quantum chemical calculations, based on time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and including solvent effect by using a mixed discrete-continuum model. In all investigated solvents, the fluorescence is very long lived (3-4 ns), emanating from a stable excited state minimum with pronounced intramolecular charge-transfer character. The main non-radiative decay channel features a sizeable energy barrier and it is affected by the polarity and the H-bonding properties of the solvent. Calculations provide a picture of dynamical solvation effects fully consistent with the experimental results and show that the photophysical properties of 8vdG are modulated by the orientation of the vinyl group with respect to the purine ring, which in turn depends on the solvent. These findings may have importance for the understanding of the fluorescence properties of 8vdG when incorporated in a DNA helix.
