The time-resolved formation of the retinyl carbocation from all-trans-retinol and all-trans-retinol acetate was studied by use of picosecond flash photolysis. From both precursors, the retinyl cation is produced by heterolytic C-O bond cleavage in solvents of medium polarity (acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, propanol with Reichardt polarity parameter ET(N) approximately 0.5) and high polarity (EtOH, MeOH, TFE, HFIP, ET(N) > 0.

Time-resolved pico- and nanosecond transient absorption measurements of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) were performed in different solvents at room temperature. The excited singlet state has two strong absorption bands with maxima at 430 and 630-690 nm. The lifetime of the first excited singlet state, tau(s), ranges from <10 ps up to 2.

A new approach to the theory of the EPR of spin correlated radical pairs (SCRP) is formulated. It is based on spectral exchange methods as applied to the two-site model and takes into account explicitly both the motion of one quantum (transverse magnetization) and two quantum coherences (polarizations) of SCRPs. This innovation allows for the interpretation of anti phase structure (APS) spectral shape asymmetry and for the transformation of the initially created ST0RPM polarization into the APS spectral pattern.

The sensitized photomodification occurs mainly by singlet-singlet energy transfer from pyrene to azide in their complementary complex, which allows a significant increase in the rate and level of photomodification. When irradiation occurred simultaneously in the UV and visible regions (365-580 nm), two-photon triplet-triplet sensitization was revealed for the first time, which leads to a still greater acceleration of the target modification and a change of its site-direction from the G11 to T13 residue.

The method of high performance liquid chromatography was applied to investigate the products of single-quantum and two-quantum photo-reactions which occur when an aqueous solution of uridine is irradiated with high intensity nanosecond and picosecond laser UV pulses. A comparison of the experimental results obtained with theoretical models enables a number of photophysical parameters of the highly excited electronic states of the uridine molecule to be determined.
