This study presents a comprehensive theoretical exploration of the fluorescent non-natural emissive nucleobases- mthA, mthG, mthC, and mthU derived from the methylthieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine heterocycle. Our calculations, aligning with experimental findings, reveal that these non-natural bases exert minimal influence on the geometry of classical Watson-Crick base pairs within an RNA duplex, maintaining H-bonding akin to natural bases. We delved into an in-depth analysis of the photophysical properties of these non-natural bases. This investigation unveiled a correlation between their absorption/emission peaks and the substantial impact of the modification on the energy levels of the highest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). Notably, this alteration in energy levels resulted in a significant reduction of the HOMO-LUMO gap, from approximately 5.4-5.5 eV in the natural bases, to roughly 3.9-4.7 eV in the modified bases. This shift led to a consequential change in absorption and emission spectra towards longer wavelengths, elucidating their bathochromic shift.
