Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

Silica-based materials (SBMs) are widely used in catalysis, photonics, and drug delivery.
Their pores and cavities act as hosts of diverse guests ranging from classical dyes to drugs …

Herein, we demonstrate a working prototype of a conjugated proton crane, a reversible
tautomeric switching molecule in which truly intramolecular long-range proton transfer …

Abstract Two novel, 7-hydroxyquinoline based, Schiff bases have been synthesized and
their spectral properties have been investigated by combined use of optical and NMR …

The dynamics of the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) in a cluster of 2-(2′-
hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) and hydrogen-bonded water molecules was …

There has been decades of research on determining and predicting acid dissociation
constants (p K a) and the tautomer ratios both experimentally and theoretically. However, the …

The excited state relaxation dynamics of 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) in the
gas phase and the solvents have been explored experimentally and theoretically. However …

Molecules that can tautomerize are a challenge to scientists because one must consider the
possible tautomers in most tasks involving chemical structures: for example, searching …

Theoretical design of several proton cranes, based on 7-hydroxyquinoline and 3-
hydroxypyridine as proton-transfer frames, has been attempted using ground and excited …

HIV integrase became an important target for drug development more than twenty years
ago. However, progress has been hampered by the lack of assays suitable for high …
