Based on MINDO/3 optimized geometries, molecular properties have been computed for lumiflavin and related methylated isoalloxazines. Excellent agreement with UV PES is obtained. Salient differences from previous work are identified in the interpretation of the spectra.Computed partial atomic charges are presented and discussed for both oxidized and reduced forms, including cationic and anionic species. The most polar portion of the isoalloxazine system is pyrimidine-like ring C because of the high polarity of the carbonyl groups. Otherwise, N(1) and N(3) are the most negative ring atoms in the oxidized and reduced forms forms; C(4a) is also very negative in reduced forms. N(5) and N(10) are more negative in reduced than in oxidized forms. It is shown in two-electron reduction that bond length changes are quite localized to the diazadiene portion of the molecule, but that changes in partial charges extend to rings A and B. Only the O=C—NH—C=O moiety does not experience much change in charge.Good correlation is obtained between MINDO/3 partial charges and proton NMR for both the aromatic and methyl protons on ring A, supporting the assignments by Grande and Müller. Also changes in 13C NMR spectra upon reduction are paralleled by changes in computed partial charges. The nature of two-electron reduction is analyzed in terms of changes in HOMO/LUMO as well as geometry and charge distribution. A table of computed properties is included for all compounds studied: total energy, ΔHƒ, ionization potential, electron affinity, and dipole moment.
