Abstract
The one- and two-photon spectra of the lowest electronic states of pyrimidine are analyzed by means of response theory calculations. Particular attention is paid to the lower one-photon forbidden (nπ*) 1A2 and one-photon allowed (ππ*) 1B1 and 1B2 states. Despite being electronically allowed it is found that the vibronically induced intensity for the two-photon transition to the first 1B2 state is much larger than the intensity derived from the pure electronic contribution. A detailed theoretical two-photon vibronic spectrum is presented showing strong excitations of the b2 mode and a shift of the two-photon absorption maximum as much as 1600 cm-1 from the corresponding one-photon maximum, in good agreement with experiment.
