Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques, in addition to quantum mechanical calculations, were employed to study the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to solvent of three 7-hydroxycoumarin dyes. We found that for 7-hydroxycoumarins in water, the ESPT rate is high, about 2 × 10 s, whereas in methanol the ESPT rate is much lower than that over the nonradiative lifetime of the excited singlet state; thus, the ESPT efficiency is very low.

Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions of 5-cyano-2-naphthol (5CN2) and 5,8-dicyano-2-naphthol (DCN2) were investigated in protic ionic liquids (PILs) composed of quaternary ammonium (NH) ( = 2, 4, or 8) and hexanoate (CHCOO) using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The effects of the number of alkyl carbons in the cation and the basicity of the anion on the reaction yield and dynamics were examined. In a series of [NH][CHCOO], fluorescence from the hydrogen-bonding complex (AHBX) of a proton-dissociated form (RO) with a solvent acid in the electronic excited state was observed between the fluorescence bands of an acidic form (ROH) and an anionic form (RO) as in the case of [NH][CFCOO] (Fujii et al.

This study investigated emissive urea compounds with an anthryl moiety on one side and a substituent group (biphenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, or cyclohexyl) on the other side across from the urea group. This was performed to determine the contribution of π-conjugation on a substituent group to excited-state intermolecular proton-transfer (ESPT) reactions in the presence of acetate anions. Fluorescence lifetime measurements revealed that the rate constant of the ESPT reaction from the normal form to the tautomer form increased with the length of the π-conjugation.

Fluorescent aromatic urea compounds undergo excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT) in the presence of acetate anions to produce an excited state of the tautomer (T*) from the excited state of the complex (N*), resulting in dual fluorescence. Herein, we performed spectroscopic measurements of anthracen-1-yl-3-phenylurea derivatives with substituents, -CF, -F, or -Cl, at the p-position of the phenyl group in the presence of acetate to investigate the substituent effects on the ESPT reaction and the deactivation processes of N* and T*. Kinetic analysis showed that the reverse ESPT rate constant (k) depended on the respective substituents, suggesting that each substituent may influence the reverse ESPT process differently.

Laryngeal cancer ranks as the second most prevalent upper airway malignancy, following Lung cancer. Although some progress has been made in managing laryngeal cancer, the 5-year survival rate is disappointing. The gradual increase in the incidence of second primary tumors (SPTs) plays a crucial role in determining survival outcomes during long-term follow-up, and the esophagus was the most common site with a worse prognosis.

We have experimentally demonstrated conclusive evidence of solvent-to-chromophore excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) as a deactivation mechanism in a binary complex isolated in the gas phase. This was achieved by determining the energy barrier of the ESPT processes, qualitatively analysing the quantum tunnelling rates and evaluating the kinetic isotope effect. The 1 : 1 complexes of 2,2'-pyridylbenzimidazole (PBI) with HO, DO and NH, produced in supersonic jet-cooled molecular beam, were characterised spectroscopically.
