| local.description.resumo | We combined sub-30 fs broadband transient absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet with state-of-the-art quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations to study the ultrafast excited-state dynamics of the sulfur-substituted nucleobase 4-thiouracil. We observed a clear mismatch between the time scales for the decay of the stimulated emission from the bright ππ* state (76 ± 16 fs, experimentally elusive until now) and the buildup of the photoinduced absorption of the triplet state (225 ± 30 fs). These data provide evidence that the intersystem crossing occurs via a dark state, which is intermediately populated on the sub-100 fs time scale. Nonlinear spectroscopy simulations, extrapolated from a detailed CASPT2/MM decay path topology of the solvated system together with an excited state mixed quantum-classical nonadiabatic dynamics, reproduce the experimental results and explain the experimentally observed vibrational coherences. The theoretical analysis rationalizes the observed different triplet buildup times of 4- and 2-thiouracil. | |
