Photoacids show a strong increase in acidity in the first electronic excited state, enabling
real‐time studies of proton transfer in acid‐base reactions, proton transport in energy …

The phenomenon of photoacidity, ie, an increase in acidity by several orders of magnitude
upon electronic excitation, is frequently encountered in aromatic alcohols capable of …

This work employs the correlated wavefunction-based methods ADC (2) and CC2 in
combination with the implicit solvent model COSMO to calculate the UV/Vis absorption and …

The excited state proton transfer (ESPT) reaction from the photoacid 8-hydroxypyrene-1, 3, 6-
trisulfonic acid (HPTS or pyranine) to an acetate molecule has been investigated in explicit …

This work applies the thermodynamic Förster cycle to theoretically investigate the p K a*,
ie, excited-state p K a values of pyranine-derived superphotoacids developed by Jung and …

Aqueous proton transfer reactions are fundamental in biology and chemistry, yet kinetics
and mechanisms of strong base–weak acid reactions are not well understood. In this work …

As a common process in nature, excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) is becoming
increasingly attractive due to its wide applications in smart sensors and materials …

Abstract Intermolecular Proton Transfer (PT) dynamics can be best studied by optical
spectroscopy, which can cover the vast timescale spanned by the process. PT in a hydrogen …

The proton transfer reaction is one of the fundamental chemical reactions where the reaction
dynamics strongly depend on solvent properties such as acidity or basicity. A photoacid 8 …

Summary In the Eigen-Weller framework, acid-base reactions are described as those
consisting of serial steps. The steps include the encounter of acid and base compounds …
