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 intramolecul ...[more]
