In the present work the analysis of the possible ways of energy degradation of electron excited states of 4-methyl-7- hydxyquinolone-2 (Q) and its protolytic species is presented (Figure 1); a ratio of radiative and nonradiative channels of deactivation of energy of electronic excitation is established; constants of photophysical processes (internal and intercrossing conversion), proceeding after act of absorption of light are designed. Study of exited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in quinolones is interesting as a source of information on the relative importance of these processes in the photophysics and photochemistry of such molecular systems.
