To explore the excited state dynamics of pyrimidine derivatives, we performed a combined experimental and theoretical study. We present resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI) and IR-UV double resonance spectra of 2,4-diaminopyrimidine and 2,6-diaminopurine seeded in a supersonic jet by laser desorption. For 2,4-diaminopyrimidine (S0 → S1 34 459 cm−1), we observed only the diamino tautomer with an excited state lifetime bracketed between experimental limits of 10 ps and 1 ns. For 2,6-diaminopurine, we observed two tautomers, the 9H- (S0 → S1 34 881 cm−1) and 7H- (S0 → S1 32 215 cm−1) diamino forms, with excited state lifetimes of 6.3 ± 0.4 ns and 8.7 ± 0.8 ns, respectively. We investigated the nature of the excited state of 2,4-diaminopyrimidine by means of multi-reference ab initio methods. The calculations of stationary points in the ground and excited states, minima on the S0/S1 crossing seam and connecting reaction paths show that several paths with negligible barriers exist, allowing ultrafast radiationless deactivation if excited at energies slightly higher than the band origin. The sub-nanosecond lifetime found experimentally is in good agreement with this finding.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
