Abstract
The excited-state photophysics of the light-induced antiviral agents h ypericin and hypocrellin are compared with those of the hexa- and tetr amethoxy analogues of hypericin. The results are consistent with the i nterpretation of the primary photoprocess in hypericin and hypocrellin as that of excited-state intramolecular proton or atom transfer.
