absorption as compared with other acetophenone derivatives. On the basis of transient infrared spectroscopy it has been previously claimed that 2M is an interesting photosensitiser for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) formation. In the present paper, a complete UV–Vis transient absorption spectroscopic characterisation of this compound is provided, including triplet-triplet spectra, triplet lifetimes

We have synthesized simple model systems to explore the possibility of photo-cross-linking between the pyrimidine bases and the side chains of the aromatic amino acids. Thymine/phenylalanine and thymine/tyrosine models gave cross-links, and thymine/tryptophan models gave complex mixtures; the cytosine/phenylalanine model was unreactive. The quantum yields for the model cross-linking reactions were 18-46 times smaller than those for thymine dimer formation. Biphotonic excitation contributes little to the yield of these reactions.
