Imidazo[1,2- a]pyridine derivatives with different hydroxyaryl units (1-3), which could potentially form an intramolecular hydrogen-bonded seven-membered ring in either a planar or a twisted conformation, were newly developed, and the effect of conformation and steric repulsion on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) luminescence was evaluated. Among them, 1 and 2 formed an intramolecular hydrogen-bonded seven-membered ring in the crystalline state and exhibited efficient ESIPT luminescence in the solid state (quantum yield up to 0.45).

In this study, several hydrogen-bonded arylamide foldamers (compounds 1-5) with the same degree of polymerization were designed and synthesized. The polyfluoroiodobenzene or iodoethynyl polyfluoroiodobenzene segment was modified as a halogen donor at the end of the monomer, and pyridine or pyridine oxynitride served as the corresponding halogen acceptor segment. The crystal structure of compound 1 indicates that the supramolecular double helices were constructed by stacking a P helix and an M helix in an antiparallel manner in the direction of intermolecular I⋅⋅⋅O-N halogen bonding.

The coupled structural and electronic parameters of intramolecular hydrogen bonding play an important role in ultrafast chemical reactions, such as proton transfer processes. We perform one- and two-dimensional vibrational-electronic (1D and 2D VE) spectroscopy experiments to understand the couplings between vibrational and electronic coordinates in 10-Hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline, an ultrafast proton transfer system. The experiments reveal that the OH stretch (νOH) is strongly coupled to the electronic excitation, and Fourier analysis of the 1D data shows coherent oscillations from the low frequency backbone vibrational modes coupled to the νOH mode, resulting in an electronically detected vibronic signal.

Water interfaces play a crucial role in regulating interactions and energy flow. Vibrational sum-frequency generation (vSFG) spectroscopy provides structural and dynamic information on water molecules at interfaces. It has revealed, for instance, the presence of the hydrogen-bonded and free OH groups at the air-water interface.

Enantioselective synthesis governed by chiral catalysts has been extensively developed, but that without any chiral auxiliaries or chiral catalysts is rare, particularly when remote stereogenic centers are involved. Here we report an enantioselectivity of heterochiral coupling in the one-pot reaction of racemic hydrazides with achiral 1,4-bis(isothiocyanine)benzene, yielding preferentially the heterochiral bilateral azapeptides over the homochiral ones. Despite bearing two hydrogen-bonded β-turn structures that allow intramolecular chiral transfer, the bilateral azapeptide products have two chiral centers separated by 14 atoms or 15 bonds, which prevent the direct intramolecular asymmetric communication between the two chiral centers.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reactions are crucial in photoresponsive materials and fluorescent markers. The fluorescent compound 4-aminophthalimide (4-AP) has been reported to exhibit solvent-assisted ESIPT in protic solvents, such as methanol, wherein the solvent interacts with 4-AP to form a six-membered hydrogen-bonded ring that is strengthened upon excitation. Although the controversial observation of ESIPT in 4-AP has been extensively studied, the molecular mechanism has yet to be fully explored.
