Abstract
As reversible fluorescent probes, HTP-1 and HTP-2 have favourable applications for the detection of Zn2+ and H2S. Herein, the impact of solvent on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of HTP-1 and HTP-2 was comprehensively investigated. The obtained geometric parameters and infrared (IR) vibrational analysis associated with the intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) indicated that the strength of IHB for HTP-1 was weakened in the excited state. Moreover, structural torsion and almost no ICT behaviour indicated that the ESIPT process did not occur in HTP-1. Nevertheless, when the 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) group replaced the H atom, the IHB strength of HTP-2 was enhanced after photoexcitation, which inhibited the twisting of tetraphenylethylene, thereby opening the ESIPT channel. Notably, hole-electron analysis and frontier molecular orbitals revealed that the charge decoupling effect was the reason for the fluorescence quenching of HTP-2. Furthermore, the potential energy curves (PECs) revealed that HTP-2 was more inclined to the ESIPT process in polar solvents than in nonpolar solvents. With a decrease in solvent polarity, it was more conducive to the ESIPT process. Our study systematically presents the ESIPT process and different detection mechanisms of the two reversible probe molecules regulated by solvent polarity, providing new insights into the design and development of novel fluorescent probes.

Abstract
To expound specific excited state processes of the novel excitation wavelength dependent emission BH-BA fluorophore for better subsequent applications, this wok mainly focus on exploring photo-induced hydrogen bonding geometrical changes, excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism and related regulated behavior via solvent polarity. The differences of structural parameters, infrared (IR) vibrational spectra, core-valence bifurcation (CVB) index as well as electronic densities ρ(r) between S0 and S1 states related to dual hydrogen bonds (O1-H2···N3 and O4-H5···N6) reveal S1-state hydrogen bonding strength facilitate ESIPT behaviors for BH-BA system. Of particular note, O4-H5···N6 plays a more dominant role. Photo-induced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and variations of Hirshfled and NPA charges over atoms related to hydrogen bonding moieties promote the ESIPT tendency for BH-BA. Combined potential energy surfaces (PESs), transition state (TS) and intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) paths, we illustrate the excited state intramolecular single proton transfer (ESISPT) mechanism of BH-BA should occur along with O4-H5···N6 hydrogen bonding wire, which could be adjusted by surrounding solvent polarity.

Abstract
In this work, we mainly focus on exploring the effects of atomic electronegativity on excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) behavior for novel FQ-OH derivatives theoretically. Combining analyses of geometrical changes, infrared (IR) spectral variations, and bonding energies via band critical point (BCP) parameters, we clarify the excited state hydrogen bonding strength is enhancing with decrease of atomic electronegativity. In addition, photo-induced charge reorganization and different energy gap of momentous frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) further reflect intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) promotes ESIPT reaction. Low atomic electronegativity reveals excited state high kinetic dynamics and chemical activities. Via constructing potential energy curves (PECs) and searching transition state (TS), we clarify atomic electronegativity dependent ESIPT behavior for FQ-OH. Particularly, the modification of atomic electronegativity also plays critical roles in regulating UV-Vis spectra. This work not only uncovering detailed ESIPT mechanism for FQ-OH, but also presents a novel regulated mechanism via atomic electronegativity.

Abstract
The fluorescent detection mechanism of 2-(4-nitro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl) acetic acid (CORM3-green) on CO-Releasing Molecule-3 (CORM-3) is theoretically studied. Upon reaction with CORM-3, the non-fluorescent CORM3-green is transferred to the keto form of 2-(4-amino-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)acetic acid (PTI) to produce strong fluorescence peak located at 423 nm. This peak red-shifts to 489 nm, which is induced by the strengthening of intermolecular hydrogen bond (HB) between PTI and water molecules and attributed to the experimentally observed fluorescence emission at 503 nm. This result is dramatically different from previous reports that the experimental fluorescence corresponds to the proton transferred enol form of PTI. To illustrate this confusion, the calculated fluorescence peak of PTI-Enol is located at 689 nm, which is much larger than that of experimental result. This result excludes the occurrence of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). It is concluded that intermolecular HBs hinders the formation of intramolecular HB and the ESIPT of the keto form of PTI. This conclusion confirms that experimental Stokes shift of 113 nm is mainly caused by the intermolecular hydrogen bonding rather than by ESIPT process. This work proposes a reasonable explanation for the detection mechanism of CORM3-green and experimental fluorescence phenomenon.

Abstract
Recently, Krishnamoorthy and coworkers reported a new type of proton transfer, which was labeled as 'proton transfer triggered proton transfer', in 3,5-bis(2-hydroxypheny)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (bis-HPTA). In this work, the excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) mechanism and multiple fluorescent characteristics of bis-HPTA were investigated. Upon photo-excitation, the intramolecular hydrogen bonding strength changed and the electron density of bis-HPTA redistributed. These changes will affect the proton transfer process. In S0 state, the proton transfer processes of bis-HPTA were prohibited on the stepwise and concerted pathways. After vertical excitation to the S1 state, the ESIPT-II process was more likely to occur than the ESIPT-I process, which was contrary to the conclusion that the ESIPT-II process is blocked and the ESIPT-II process takes place after the ESIPT-I process proposed by Krishnamoorthy and coworkers. When the K2 tautomer was formed through the ESIPT-II process, the second proton transfer process on the stepwise pathway was prohibited. On another stepwise pathway, after the ESIPT-I process (form the K1 tautomer), the second proton transfer process should overcome a higher potential barrier than the ESIPT-I process to form ESDPT tautomer. On the concerted pathway, the bis-HPTA can synchronous transfer double protons to form the ESDPT tautomer. The ESDPT tautomer was unstable and immediately converted to the K2 tautomer via a barrierless reverse proton transfer process. Thus, the fluorescent maximum at 465 nm from the ESDPT tautomer reported by Krishnamoorthy and coworkers was ascribed to the K2 tautomer. Most of the fluorophores show dual fluorescent properties, while the bis-HPTA undergoing ESDPT process exhibited three well-separated fluorescent peaks, corresponding to its normal form (438 nm), K1 tautomer (462 nm) and K2 tautomer (450 nm), respectively.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) are used to study the solvatochromic effect and the excited-state intramolecular double proton transfer (ESIDPT) of 1,3-Bis(2-pyridylimino)-4,7-dihydroxyisoindole (BPI-OH) in different kinds of solvents. The hydrogen bonding parameters and IR spectra reveal that in the excited state, the strength of excited hydrogen bond increase with the decrease of solvent polarity. Furthermore, the reduction density gradient (RDG) analysis confirms the corresponding conclusion. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) are analyzed, illuminating that the smaller the polarity of solvent, the smaller the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO. The structures of BPI-OH (N) (normal), BPI-OH (T1) (single), and BPI-OH (T2) (double) were optimized. Previous reports found the double protons in BPI-OH molecule are transferred step-by-step process BPI-OH(N)→BPI-OH(T1)→BPI-OH(T2) in the ground state (S0) and the first excited singlet state (S1). Here, the potential energy curves of O1-H2 and O4-H5 in the S0 and S1 states were scanned in four kinds of solvents, respectively. It was found that in S1 state, BPI-OH(N)→BPI-OH(T1) was more prone to proton transfer than BPI-OH(T1)→BPI-OH(T2). In addition, by comparing the reaction energy barriers of the four kinds of solvents, it can be found that ESIPT is difficult to occur with the increase of solvent polarity. Meanwhile, it was also studied that MeOH as an explicit solvent was more likely to promote the ESIPT process than other implicit solvents.

Abstract
The photophysical properties and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes for 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-chloromethylthiazole (1), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-phenylthiazole (2), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-hydroxymethyl-thiazole (3) were studied at the TD-B3PW91/6-31 + G(d, p)/IEFPCM level. The structures of 1-3 were fully optimized and the corresponding structural parameters, infrared spectra and electron densities in the ground (S0) and the first excited (S1) states were analyzed. The calculated absorption and fluorescence wavelengths of 1-3 reproduced the experimental data. The potential energy curves of the S0 and S1 states were built and the ESIPT processes were clarified. Our results showed that the intramolecular H-bonds of 3 and 2 in the S1 state were the strongest and the weakest, respectively, and then the ESIPT potential barriers of 3 and 2 were the lowest and highest, respectively. Among the three phenol-thiazole type probes, the compound 2 with phenyl ring group at the 4 position of the thiazole ring had the larger π-conjugation, and had the higher ESIPT potential barrier at the same time. The corresponding compound 1 and 3 with CH2Cl and CH2OH had the lower ESIPT barrier.

Abstract
2-(2'-Hydroxyphenyl) thiazole-4-carboxaldeyde (aldehyde 1) and hemiacetal 2 were selected to study the mechanism of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and the detecting of Al3+ ion in methanol by using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental values. The intramolecular H-bond is enhanced in the first excited-state based on the analyses of structural parameters, frontier molecular orbitals and electronic spectra. The stronger intramolecular H-bond is more favorable for ESIPT process. In order to further demonstrate the proton transfer process, we constructed the potential energy curves of probe 1 and 2 in both ground- and excited-states, and concluded that proton transfer processes in probe 1 and 2 are apt to happen in the S1 state. In addition, the Mayer bond order, energy gap and absorption and fluorescence spectra were applied to interpret the process of detection of Al3+ ion.

Dolores Reyman et al. found the norharmane (9H-pyrido [3,4-b] indole) (NHM) and two acetic acid molecules can form the ternary complex (NHM-2A) in component solvent of dichloromethane and acetic acid via the hydrogen bond chain (J. Lumin. 2014, 148, 64). But the specific reaction details during this process were rarely reported. In this study, we will give an insight into the reasons which promote the occurrence of this reaction as well as its reaction order. The hydrogen bond enhancing behavior in first excited state (S1) is verified through the analysis of geometric configurations, infrared spectra, frontier molecular orbitals and potential energy curves. The absorption and fluorescence spectra we calculated are well coincident with the experimental results. Meanwhile, it is obvious that the hydrogen bond intensity is gradually enhanced from N1H2⋯O3, O4H5⋯O6 to O7H8⋯N9 by analyzing the reduced density gradient (RDG) isosurface. The hydrogen bond strengthening mechanism has been confirmed in which the hydrogen bond interaction acts as driving force for excited state proton transfer (ESPT) reaction. In order to provide a reliable description of the reaction energy profiles, we compare the barrier differences obtained by m062x and B3LYP methods. We might safely draw the conclusion that the multiple ESPT is a gradual process initiated by the proton transfer of O7H8⋯N9. And we further proof the ESPT process can be completed via the NHM-2A → NHM-2AS → NHM-2AD → NHM-2AT in S1 state. Theoretical research of NHM-2A has been carried out by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). It is worth noting that we predicted that the fluorescence at 400 nm observed in experiment is more likely to be emitted by NHM-2AS in S1 state.

Abstract
The intramolecular proton transfer reaction of the 2-amino-3-(2'-benzoxazolyl)-quinoline (ABO) and 2-amino-3-(2'-benzothiazolyl)-quinoline (ABT) molecules in both S0 and S1 states at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level in ethanol solvent have been studied to reveal the deactivation mechanism of the tautomers of the two molecules from the S1 state to the S0 state. The results show that the tautomers of ABO and ABT molecules may return to the S0 state by emitting fluorescence. In addition, the bond lengths, angles and infrared spectra are analyzed to confirm the hydrogen bonds strengthened upon photoexcitation, which can facilitate the proton transfer process. The frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) and natural bond orbital (NBO) are also calculated to indicate the intramolecular charge transfer which can be used to explore the tendency of ESIPT reaction. The potential energy surfaces of the ABO and ABT molecules in the S0 and S1 states have been constructed. According to the energy potential barrier of 9.12kcal/mol for ABO molecule and 5.96kcal/mol for ABT molecule, it can be indicated that the proton transfer may occur in the S1 state.

Abstract
Researchers have proposed different effective mechanisms of hydrogen bonding (HB) on the fluorescence of 6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (PRODAN) and its derivatives. Herein, excited state transition and dynamics analysis confirm that the fluorescence of PD (a derivative of PRODAN with ethyl replaced by 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropan) emits from the planar intramolecular charge transfer (PICT) state rather than twist ICT (TICT) state, because the fluorescence emission and surface hopping from the TICT state to the twist ground (T-S0) state is energy forbidden. Nevertheless, the strengthening of intramolecular-HB (intra-HB) and intermolecular-HB (inter-HB) of PD-(methanol)2 smooth the pathway of surface hopping from TICT to T-S0 state and the external conversion going to planar ground state by decreasing the energy difference of the two states. This smoothing changes the fluorescence state of PD-(methanol)2 to the TICT state in which fluorescence emission does not occur but surface hopping, leading to the partial fluorescence quenching of PD in methanol solvent. This conclusion is different from previous related reports. Moreover, the inter-HB strengthening of PD-methanol in PICT state induces the cleavage of intra-HB and a fluorescence red-shift of 54nm compared to PD. This red-shift increases to 66nm for PD-(methanol)2 for the strengthening of the one intra-HB and two inter-HBs. The dipole moments of PD-methanol and PD-(methanol)2 respectively increase about 10.3D and 8.1D in PICT state compared to PD. The synergistic effect of intra-HB and inter-HB induces partial quenching of PD in methanol solvent by turning on the TICT state and fluorescence red-shift. This work gives a reasonable description on the fluorescence red-shift and partial quenching of PD in methanol solvent, which will bring insight into the study of spectroscopic properties of molecules owning better spectral characteristics.

Abstract
The symmetrical structures 2,5-bis(benzoxazol-2-yl)thiophene-3,4-diol (BBTD) can take shape two intramolecular hydrogen bonds in chloroform. In order to research the molecular dynamic behavior of BBTD upon photo-induced process, we utilize density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to complete theoretical calculation. Through the comparison of bond length, bond angle, IR spectra, and frontier molecular orbitals between ground state (S0) and first excited state (S1), it clearly indicates that photoexcitation have slightly influence for intensity of hydrogen bond. For the sake of understanding the mechanism of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of BBTD in chloroform, potential energy surfaces have been scanned along with the orientation of O1-H2 and O4-H5 in S0 and S1 state, respectively. A intrigued hydrogen bond dynamic phenomenon has been found that ESIPT of BBTD is not a synergetic double proton transfer process, but a stepwise single proton transfer process BBTD→BBTD-S→BBTD-D. Moreover, the proton transfer process of BBTD-S→BBTD-D is easier to occur than that of BBTD→BBTD-S in S1 state.

Abstract
The investigation of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has been carried out via the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method for natural product quercetin in dichloromethane (DCM) solvent. For distinguishing different types of intramolecular interaction, the reduced density gradient (RDG) function also has been used. In this study, we have clearly clarified the viewpoint that two kinds of tautomeric forms (K1, K2)originated from ESIPT processconsist inthe first electronic excited state (S1). The phenomenon of hydrogen bonding interaction strengtheninghas been proved by comparing the changes of infrared (IR) vibrational spectra and bond parameters of the hydrogen bonding groups in the ground state with that in the first excited state. The frontier molecular orbitals (MOs)provided visual electron density redistribution have further verified the hydrogen bond strengthening mechanism. It should be noted that the ESIPT process of the K2 form is easier to occur than that of the K1 form via observing the potential energy profiles. Furthermore, the RDG isosurfaces has indicated that hydrogen bonding interaction of the K2 form is stronger than that of the K1 formin the S1 state, which is also the reason why the ESIPT process of the K2 form is easier to occur.

Abstract
In the present work, a new phenylbenzimidazole derivatized fluorescent sensor (L) (J. Lumin. 147 (2014) 179), has been investigated on the excited state proton transfer (ESPT) based on the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra based on the TDDFT method are in agreement with the experimental results. Two kinds of structures of L chromophore are found in the first excited (S1) state, which may be due to the proton transfer reactive. Hydrogen bond strengthening has been testified in the S1 state based on comparing staple bond lengths and bond angles involved in hydrogen bonding between the S0 state and the S1 state. In addition, the calculated infrared spectra at the N-H stretching vibrational region and calculated hydrogen bond energy also declare the phenomenon of hydrogen bond strengthening. The frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) and Mulliken's charge distribution analysis method as well as natural bond orbital (NBO) demonstrate the charge distribution, which provides the tendency of ESIPT reaction. The potential energy surfaces of the S0 and S1 states are constructed to explain the mechanism of the proton transfer in the excited state in detail. In addition, the ESIPT process of sensor L is dependent on different solvents.
