Abstract

The visible absorption band at $T\approx 20$\,K and competition between electron detachment and dissociation in the cyan fluorescent protein chromophore anion are reported. The spectrum is complicated by the presence of rotamers. The adiabatic detachment energy for the lowest energy rotamer (\emph{Z}1) is $19\,531\pm 40$\,cm$^{-1}$, with the vertical S$_{1}\leftarrow$S$_{0}$ transition energy determined at $23\,734\pm 20$\,cm$^{-1}$. The propensity for internal conversion followed by dissociation is low ($<$10\%) compared with autodetachment as the S$_{1}\leftarrow$S$_{0}$ absorption band is situated in the detachment continuum and is classified as a shape resonance.
