 Abstract:
 UV-induced formation of cylcobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) in all thymine DNA models have been studied by femtosecond IR spectroscopy. CPDs are shown to form within 1 ps during the decay of the initially excited 1ππ* state. The quantum yields φDps  determined after the  1ππ* decay equal the final yield φDcw. This gives evidence for a predominance of the singlet channel in CPD formation.
