The present paper deals with compounds called photosensitizers, namely, psoralen, 3,4-phenyl-4',5'- cyclohexylpsoralen, 4'-methyl-3,4-cycloheptyl psoralen, 4',5'-dimethyl-3,4-cyclohexyl psoralen (fig. 1). The absorption spectra from excited triplets states were investigated. The computed triplet-triplet absorption spectra of research compounds have been determined using INDO method. The experimental triplet-triplet absorption spectra have been obtained using the technique of laser flash photolysis in ethanol. The compare of computed and experimental data is shows that the computed second band wavelenght throughout agree very well (0,5-6 nm) with experimental data.
