Roseoflavin (8-dimethylamino-8-demethyl-D-riboflavin) in aqueous and organic solvents is studied by optical absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and fluorescence decay kinetics. A solvent polarity dependent absorption shift is observed. The fluorescence quantum yield is low and solvent dependent (e.g. 0.0005 in neutral water and 0.032 in benzene). The fluorescence decay shows a bi-exponential dependence (ps to sub-ps fast time constant, and 100 ps to a few ns slow time constant). The photo-dynamics is explained in terms of fast intra-molecular charge-transfer (diabatic electron transfer) from the dimethylamino electron donor group to the pteridin carbonyl electron acceptors followed by intra-molecular charge recombination. The fast fluorescence component is due to direct locally excited-state emission, and the slow fluorescence component is due to delayed locally excited state emission and charge transfer state emission.
