Revisiting the Excited State Dynamics of Thymine
So far, the long lifetime of UV-excited thymine has been explained in terms of trapping in the second excited state. Simulations with electron correlation shows this hypothesis doesn’t hold.

Explaining the Photophysics of Thiothymines
Why does replacing different oxygens of thymine with sulfur cause distinct absorption and intersystem crossing?
