Aromaticity is one of the most widely applied concepts within chemistry. It plays a major role
in the rationalization of a range of chemical properties in the electronic ground state, despite …

Quinone methides (QMs) are important intermediates in chemistry and biochemistry of
phenols that are characterized by wide biological activity. Some classes of anticancer …

A combined computational and experimental study reveals that ortho-, meta-and para-
aminobiphenyl isomers undergo distinctly different photochemical reactions involving proton …

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) between two highly electronegative
atoms, for example, oxygen and nitrogen, has been intensely studied experimentally and …

The mechanisms of nonradiative deactivation of a phenylalanine residue after near-UV
photoexcitation have been investigated in an isolated peptide chain model (N …

The following review analyzes the most effective activation protocols for the generation of
transient electrophilic quinone methides, merged into the recent strategies to achieve …

The novel spectral behaviors of Aloesaponarin 1 (AS1) are investigated by studying the
dynamics process of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Two intramolecular …

Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has been documented from an amino
NH2 group to a carbon atom of an adjacent aromatic ring. This finding changes the …

We demonstrate the photocatalytic protonation of a silylenol ether using 7-bromo-2-naphthol
as an ESPT catalyst with phenol as the sacrificial proton source. Greater than 95 …

Binding of a single water molecule has a dramatic effect on the excited state lifetime of
adenine. Here we report a joint nonadiabatic dynamics and reaction paths study aimed at …
