“…In continuation of our earlier work on the photophysical properties of certain novel flavone compounds [12][13][14][15], we have investigated the effect of pH on absorption and fluorescence spectra of the compounds 6-hydroxy-7,3',4',5'-tetramethoxyflavone (6HTMF) and 7-hydroxy-6,3',4',5'-tetrame-thoxyflavone (7HTMF) experimentally, as well as theoretically.…”

The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of two biologically active flavone derivatives 6-hydroxy-7,3’,4’,5’-tetramethoxyflavone (6HTMF) and 7-hydroxy-6,3’,4’,5’-tetramethoxyflavone (7HTMF) were studied as a function of acidity (pH/H0) of the solution. Dissociation constants were determined for ground and first excited singlet states and the results were compared with those obtained from Forster-Weller calculations. The acidity constants for these two compounds (6HTMF and 7HTMF) obtained from fluorimetric titrations are in poor agreement with those obtained from Forster-Weller data but are in good agreement with ground state pKa values indicated the deactivation of excited state (S1) before the prototropic equilibrium is complete. The broad band emission of both the flavones in acidic aqueous solution suggests their use as tuneable dye lasers. 6-Hydroxy-7,3’,4’,5’-tetramethoxyflavone undergoes adiabatic photo-dissociation in the singlet excited state indicating the formation of an exciplex or a photo-tautomer. The stability of photo-tautomer was confirmed by calculated value of enthalpy of formation using AM1 method.
