Abstract

The effect of intermolecular proton transfer on the spectral properties of levofloxacin in the ground and excited electronic states was studied. The preferred direction of possible protolytic reactions induced by UV irradiation in this compound was studied. It was found that the proton transfer processes have a considerable effect on the capability of the compound to emit light and occur on the nanosecond time scale.
