The formation of a species with an absorption maximum around 410 nm, observed during the neutral photolysis of 10-(2'-hydroxyalkyl) flavins by earlier authors, is shown to depend on the presence of divalent anions. The structure of this new type of compounds is presented and a possible mechanism for the reaction is discussed.
