Abstract
Vibrationally resolved cation spectra of 1-methylnaphthalene (1MN) and 2-methylnaphthalene (2MN) were obtained using the two-color resonant two-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy. MATI spectra were obtained through ionization via several intermediate vibronic levels. Due to hindrance effect, no spectral features related to methyl torsion were observed in the MATI spectra of 1MN. By contrast, most of the in-plane ring deformation vibrations of the 2MN cation were found to couple with methyl torsion because of its small internal rotational barrier. These experimental findings were well supported by our theoretical calculations.

Abstract
The role of electron- and proton-transfer processes in the photophysics of hydrogen-bonded molecular systems has been investigated with ab initio electronic-structure calculations. Adopting indole, pyridine, and ammonia as molecular building blocks, we discuss generic mechanisms of the photophysics of isolated aromatic chromophores (indole), complexes of pi systems with solvent molecules (indole-ammonia, pyridine-ammonia), hydrogen-bonded aromatic pairs (indole-pyridine), and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded pi systems (7-(2'-pyridyl)indole). The reaction mechanisms are discussed in terms of excited-state minimum-energy paths, conical intersections, and the properties of frontier orbitals. A common feature of the photochemistry of the various systems is the electron-driven proton-transfer (EDPT) mechanism: highly polar charge-transfer states of 1pipi*, 1npi*, or 1pisigma* character drive the proton transfer, which leads, in most cases, to a conical intersection of the S1 and S0 surfaces and thus ultrafast internal conversion. In intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded aromatic systems, out-of-plane torsion is additionally needed for barrierless access to the S1-S0 conical intersection. The EDPT process plays an essential role in diverse photophysical phenomena, such as fluorescence quenching in protic solvents, the function of organic photostabilizers, and the photostability of biological molecules.

Abstract
A series of three isomeric 7-pyridylindoles (7-PIs) are prepared where the pyridine attachment is through C2, C3, or C4. These systems are prepared by a combination of the Bartoli reaction and the Stille coupling with an appropriate pyridyl stannane. By treatment with CH(3)I, the 7-PIs can be converted to their pyridinium salts. Deprotonation at the NH of these salts leads to a zwitterion which, in the 4-pyridyl system, also exists as a neutral isomer. The photophysical and NMR properties of these systems are discussed. All three pyridylindoles are analyzed by X-ray crystallography and shown to exist in different states of aggregation dictated by the formation of intra- and intermolecular H-bonds.
