Abstract
In this work, by capitalizing on the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods, it has been systematically studied that the excited state double intramolecular proton transfer (ESDPT) process and the photophysical properties of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA) are affected by the distinct external electric fields (EEFs). The obtained intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) parameters containing bond lengths and angles, as well as infrared (IR) vibrational spectra demonstrate that IHB strength changes in the distinct EEFs. Moreover, not only do the potential energy surfaces (PESs) indicate that the ESDPT process of DHNA is stepwise, but also increasing the positive EEF results in a decrease in the energy barrier accordingly, while vice versa. The absorption and fluorescence spectra also undergo a corresponding red or blue shift in the EEF; for instance, when the EEF changes from +10 × 10-4 a.u. to +20 × 10-4 a.u., the fluorescence peak undergoes a blue shift from 602 nm to 513 nm in the keto2 form. In a nutshell, the ESDPT process of DHNA can be influenced by the EEF, which will serve as a reference in regulating and controlling proton transfer that causes luminescence.

Abstract
The sensitivity of the fluorescence properties of n-cyanoindole (n-CNI) fluorescent probes to the microenvironment makes them potential reporters of protein conformation and hydration. The fluorescence intensity of 5-CNI, 6-CNI, and 7-CNI is quenched when exposed to water solvent whereas substitution on position 4 of indoles dramatically increases it. A potential mechanism for this sensitivity to water may be similar to that found in indole. The fluorescence of indole is found to be quenched when interacting with water and ammonia solvent molecules via radiationless decay through an S1 (πσ*)/S0 conical intersection caused by excited state proton or hydrogen transfer to the solvent molecules. In this study we examine this fluorescence quenching mechanism along the N-H bond stretch of n-CNI probes using water cluster models and quantum mechanical calculations of the excited states. We find that n-CNI-(H2O)1-2 clusters form cyclic or non-cyclic structures via hydrogen bonds which lead to different photochemical reaction paths that can potentially quench the fluorescence by undergoing internal conversion from S1 to S0. However, the existence of a high energy barrier along the potential energy surface of the S1 state in most cases prevents this from occurring. We show that substitution on position 4 leads to the highest energy barrier that prevents the fluorophore from accessing these non-radiative channels, in agreement with its high intensity. We also find that the energy barrier in the S1 state of non-cyclic 5-CNI-(H2O)1-2 excited complexes decreases as the number of water molecules increases, which suggests great sensitivity of the fluorescence quenching on the aqueous environment.

Abstract
Excited intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has been widely studied as a model system for proton transfer. In recent years, materials and biological systems containing two proton transfers have received special attention from researchers. In this work, the excited state intramolecular double-proton-transfer (ESIDPT) mechanism of a fluorescent compound based on an oxadiazole derivative, 2,5-bis-[5-(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl]-benzene-1,4-diol (DOX), has been comprehensively investigated through theoretical calculations. The potential energy surface curve of the reaction shows that ESIDPT can occur in the first excited state. This work proposes a new and reasonable fluorescence mechanism based on previous experiments, which has theoretical significance for the future research of DOX compounds in biomedicine and optoelectronics.

Abstract
The furo[2,3-b]pyridine moiety is an important scaffold for many biologically active compounds, therefore, the spectral data of the derivative 1-(3-Amino-6-(2,5-dichlorothiophen-3-yl)-4-phenylfuro[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl) ethenone (FP1) were investigated. Analysis of absorption-pH profile and Förster cycle of FP1 revealed that its excited state is more acidic than its ground state ([Formula: see text] < [Formula: see text]). The main fluorescence emission band of FP1 at 480 nm (in hexane) is shifted to longer wavelengths with increasing polarities of solvents. Linear Lippert's plot and linear correlation between bands maxima and Camlet-Taft parameter, α, of the protic solvents indicated efficient intramolecular charge transfer and noticeable H-bonding. Moreover, the disappearance of the absorption band of FP1 at 385 nm in water, along with the noticeable red shift and quenching of the emission band, and the lower lifetime, relative to nonaqueous solvents, indicate the interruption of the furo[2,3-b]pyridine aromatic moiety. In addition, results from the Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) and Molecular Mechanic (MM) calculations were in agreement with experimentally determined spectra of FP1.

Abstract
The development of fluorescence materials with switched on/off emission has attracted great attention owing to the potential application of these materials in chemical sensing. In this work, the photophysical properties of a series of original 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)pyrimidines were thoroughly studied. The compounds were prepared by following well-established and straightforward methodologies and showed very little or null photoluminescence both in solution and in the solid state. This absence of emission can be explained by a fast proton transfer from the OH group to the nitrogen atoms of the pyrimidine ring to yield an excited tautomer that deactivates through a nonradiative pathway. The key role of the OH group in the emission quenching was demonstrated by the preparation of 2'-unsubstituted derivatives, all of which exhibited violet or blue luminescence. Single crystals of some compounds suitable for an X-ray diffraction analysis could be obtained, which permitted us to investigate inter- and intramolecular interactions and molecular packing structures. The protonation of the pyrimidine ring by an addition of trifluoroacetic acid inhibited the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process, causing a reversible switch on fluorescence response detectable by the naked eye. This acidochromic behavior allows 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)pyrimidines to be used as solid-state acid-base vapor sensors and anticounterfeiting agents. Extensive density functional theory and its time-dependent counterpart calculations at the M06-2X/6-31+G** level of theory were performed to rationalize all the experimental results and understand the impact of protonation on the different optical transitions.

Abstract
Solvent effects usually have an essential effect on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes and fluorescence mechanism. This contribution presents new insights into a newly synthesized compound, namely, 10-hydroxy-11H-benzo [b]fluoren-11-one (10-HHBF), and its analogue 1-hydroxy-11H-benzo [b]fluoren-11-one (1-HHBF), which exhibit single-fluorescence properties in protic solvents (methanol, MeOH), using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The results established four schemes, namely, MeOH-1, MeOH-2, MeOH-3, and MeOH-4, for 1-HHBF and 10-HHBF in MeOH. Absorption and emission spectra showed that the 1-HHBF and 10-HHBF at the conformation MeOH-2, MeOH-3 and MeOH-4 were closer to the experimental values than those at the MeOH-1. Energy barriers indicate the possibility of the ESIPT and ESPT process in 1-HHBF and 10-HHBF under the four schemes. Moreover, reverse PT processes were easy to occur at the conformations of MeOH-2, MeOH-3, and MeOH-4 in the S1 state. Given the single-fluorescence properties of 1-HHBF and 10-HHBF in the experiment, the conformation MeOH-1 was excluded. Therefore, our contribution proved that MeOH-2, MeOH-3, and MeOH-4 might exist in single fluorescence, and the hydrogen bond at the MeOH-2 position plays a decisive role, indicating the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction on the acceptor atom will have a more significant impact on the fluorescence properties of the substance.

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
The molecular structures of 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), were calculated by using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) model with M062X method with 6-311G (d, p) basis set. In this work, the ABTS were theoretically investigated from the geometric structure, the energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the energy level gap ΔEHOMO-LUMO of the molecular ground state, excited stated properties and the electronic absorption spectra of different oxidation states. We studied the energy levels of LUMO and HOMO of ABTS in different oxidation states. Frontier molecular orbital analysis can provide insight into the nature of excited states. ABTS was synthesized from N-ethylamine by total synthesis. Then, we measured the UV-Vis spectra of ABTS before and after being oxidized by K2S2O8. The calculated electronic structures and photochemical properties of different oxidation state of ABTS were in accordance with the experimental result. This work demonstrates the relationship between the electronic structures and photochemistry of different oxidation states ABTS hence paves the way for the rationally synthesis and deepen understanding of the photophysical properties of ABTS materials.

Abstract
Using green chemistry procedures the synthesis of N-alkyl (NCnInd) and N,N′-dialkyl (N,N′CnInd) indigo derivatives, with n = 1–3, 6, 8, 12 and 18, was undertaken, leading to compounds with blueish to greenish colors in solution. The effect of the alkyl chain length on the spectral (including color) and photophysical properties of the compounds was explored. This was done with solvents of different viscosities and polarities (dielectric constants). From time-resolved fluorescence and femtosecond-transient absorption (fs-TA) for the NCnInd derivatives with n = 1 and 2, the decays are, in methylcyclohexane (MCH) and n-dodecane, single-exponential, while in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2MeTHF) they are bi-exponential. The excited state proton transfer (ESPT) is ultrafast (<1 ps) for NC1,2Ind in MCH and n-dodecane, supported by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations, thus showing that both the chain length and solvent influence the ESPT process. For N,N′CnInd, from time-resolved experiments, and with the exception of the shortest member of the series, N,N′C1Ind, two conformers are found to be present in the excited state. Using green chemistry procedures the synthesis of N- and N,N′-alkyl indigo derivatives was undertaken and the effect of the alkyl chain length on the spectral (including color) and photophysical properties of the compounds explored.![]()

Abstract
Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method was used to study the different excited states proton transfer mechanism of DPP in cyclohexane (CHE) and Methanol (MeOH). The results indicate that the concerted mechanism and the stepwise mechanism coexist in the double proton transfer process of DPP dimer in the aprotic solvent CHE, the stepwise mechanism predominates. The stepwise mechanism can only carry out single proton transfer (DPP-SPT), the second proton cannot be transferred because it is hindered by high energy barriers. The concerted mechanism produces a double proton transfer (DPP-DPT). The potential energy surface of the DPP dimer was calculated and the double fluorescence phenomenon of DPP dimer observed by Chou et al. (P.T. Chou, Y.I. Liu, H.W. Liu, W.S. Yu, Dual Excitation behavior of double proton transfer versus Charge Transfer in 4-(N-Substituted Amino)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines tuned by dielectric and hydrogen-bonding perturbation, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123 (2001) 12119-12120) was explained. In view of the protonic solvent effect of methanol, the potential energy curve of the DPP/MeOH cluster was constructed. The fluorescence quenching process of DPP/MeOH clusters was elucidated. The proton transfer pathways of DPP/MeOH clusters are revealed in two different concerted ways (Type A: protons transfer from DPP molecules to MeOH solvent molecules; Type B: protons transfer from MeOH solvent to DPP molecules). The ESPT process of DPP molecules in the protic solvent MeOH was found to be more prone to Type B. The results can help to better understand the intermolecular hydrogen bonding mechanism of DPP molecules.

Abstract
Recently, Piechowska and coworker found that hydroxybenzofluorenone 10-hydroxy11H-benzo[b]fluoren-11-one (10-HHBF) does not show dual fluorescence, which is in contrast to its well-known analogue 1-hydroxy-11H-benzo[b]fluoren-11-one (1-HHBF) [Dyes Pigm. 2019, 165, 346-353.]. Based on the increased donor-acceptor distance and the lower stability of the excited state tautomer of former, they believe that different from 1-HHBF, ESIPT is not occurring in 10-HHBF. In the preset work, in order to clarify whether ESIPT would take place in 10-HHBF, we have optimized the four-state geometrical structures (ground state S0, first singlet excited state S1, transition state S1-TS and after proton transfer S1-PT), carried out the Natural Population Analysis and scanned the ground-state and excited-state potential energy curves of 1-HHBF and 10-HHBF at TD-CAM-B3LYP/6-311 + g(2d,2p)/IEFPCM (cyclohexane) theory level. It is found that ESIPT should take place in both 1-HHBF and 10-HHBF and the Gibbs free energy diagram further indicates that the ESIPT process is more favorable in 10-HHBF than in 1-HHBF.

Abstract
The photophysical and photochemical properties of the novel hydrazine sensor TAPHP and the TAPDP generated by the cyclization reaction of TAPHP with hydrazine are investigated using the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. The results show that both the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and intramolecular charge transfer can occur for TAPHP and TAPDP. Analysis of bond parameters and infrared vibrational spectra indicate that hydrogen bonds are enhanced in the first excited state, which is beneficial to excited-state intramolecular proton transfer. The strength of hydrogen bonds is also visualized by using the independent gradient model and topological analysis. The core-valence bifurcation index and bond critical point parameters are further employed to measure hydrogen bonds. The reaction path of proton transfer is obtained through the potential energy curves. The excitation of TAPHP and TAPDP is attributed to the charge transfer excitation, which is determined by the characteristics of the hole-electron distribution. The reaction site and product configuration are verified by atomic charge and 1H-NMR spectra. The negative free energy difference indicates that the reaction between TAPHP and hydrazine can proceed spontaneously. In addition, the absorption and fluorescence spectra agree well with the experimental results, confirming that TAPHP is an excellent sensor of hydrazine.

Abstract
The fluorescence properties of 4'-methoxy-3-hydroxyflavone (M3HF) dye in different solvents were investigated through experimental (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, 20, 7885) and theoretical (Org. Chem. Front., 2019, 6, 218) methods. However, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between M3HF and solvents were ignored. In this work, we investigated the effect of methanol (MeOH) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of M3HF fluorescent dye. In excited state (S1), the intramolecular hydrogen bonds are significantly strengthened, which can facilitate the ESIPT processes. The calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra agree well with the experimental date. The fluorescence spectra of M3HF and ESIPT tautomers (T⁎) were found to be sensitive to the solvent polarity. Upon photo-excitation, the electron density of the M3HF molecular is redistributed, which can provide driving force for the ESIPT. The polar solvents MeOH (hydrogen bond donor) and DMF (hydrogen bond acceptor) can form different types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds with M3HF. The two different bonding modes of intermolecular hydrogen bonds are expected to weaken the intramolecular hydrogen bond of M3HF to varying degrees. The analysis of the potential energy curves indicate that the ESIPT processes of M3HF can be hindered by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular hydrogen bond of M3HF-DMF complex is weaker than that of M3HF-MeOH complex, while the potential barrier of the ESIPT process in DMF solvent is higher than that of in the MeOH solvent. This is principally because, in DMF solvent, the hydroxyl group H1 atom of M3HF can be captured by the O3 atom of DMF and form O3H1 bond with O3 atom in the intermediate process of ESIPT. There appears an energy barrier hopping point on the potential energy curve of M3HF in DMF solvent but does not appear in MeOH solvent.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism of 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-hydroxychromone (DH3B2) is based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. We find that DH3B2-C is the main conformation to occur ESIPT. Moreover, we get the different results of DH3B2 for the ESIPT mechanisms in comparison with the previous reports. We have optimized three isomers (DH3B2-A, DH3B2-B and DH3B2-C), and calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra, which agree well with the experimental data. Furthermore, we prove the hydrogen bond is enhanced in the S1 state by comparing infrared vibrational spectra, the relevant bond length and bond angle. In our calculations, the results of the three levels of calculations (CAM-B3LYP/TZVP, B3LYP/TZVP and PBEPBE/TZVP) indicate that DH3B2-C is the most stable conformation, by compared the single point energy of three isomers. By constructed the potential energy surfaces (PESs), we find the converted relationship among the three isomers; DH3B2-C is the main conformation in which DH3B2 exists. Furthermore, combination with reduced density gradient (RDG) function, the hydrogen bond of DH3B2-C is stronger than that of DH3B2-A and DH3B2-B, which proves that DH3B2-C form is the most favorable form for ESIPT among the three isomers. Meanwhile, we have further investigated the ESIPT mechanisms of DH3B2, via constructing the potential energy curves (PECs). These results have shown that DH3B2-C is easier to ESIPT occur than DH3B2-A and DH3B2-B. Therefore, the proton receptors of the ESIPT are mainly the benzimidazole nitrogen atoms.

Abstract
Time-resolved optical Kerr fluorescence system was used to investigate time-resolved red-shift of coumarin 153 in different solvent mixtures. The mixtures included four mole fractions of phenol-cyclohexane solvents (0, 0.013, 0.08, and 0.3), and anisole-cyclohexane solvents with the mole fraction of 0.3. The measured time-resolved fluorescence showed that, in the solvent mixtures containing phenol, the time-dependent frequency shift accelerated with the increase in the mole fraction of phenol-cyclohexane mixtures. However, the time-dependent red-shift in the fluorescence was not observed in the anisole-cyclohexane mixture, the solvent polarity could not influence the spectral Stokes shift compared with phenol. The results indicated that coumarin 153 formed an excited hydrogen bond with phenol, and the excited hydrogen bond was strengthened with an increase in the mole fraction of phenol. And, these processes also suggested that the increase in the phenol ratio improves a large number of hydrogen bond formed between phenol and carbonyl group of coumarin 153, the charge distribution will be faster towards lower the free energy of the system due to the stronger dipole moment. Therefore, the corresponding solvation response in phenol-cyclohexane mixtures with higher mole fractions decays very rapidly.

Abstract
The cocrystals of sulfamethazine with different acids, namely, 2-mercaptophenylcarboxylic acid, 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 4-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)phenylcarboxylic acid, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid, and 4-(phenyl)phenylcarboxylic acid, are studied here. Each has distinct notable supramolecular features. The pyrimidin-2-amine unit of the sulfamethazine provided unique examples of cocrystals in which amidine and imidine forms or neutral and protonated forms of sulfamethazine are observed in 2:2 ratios. Hence, this study provides avenues to explore cocrystals with tautomeric forms together in a cocrystal and also neutral and protonated cocrystal partners as apparent multicomponents in cocrystals. Among the cocrystals, three of them have the amidine form of the sulfamethazine in respective self-assembly. The cocrystal of 2-mercapto-phenylcarboxylic acid with sulfamethazine has the amidine form and it has the distinction of having S-H···π interactions. The cocrystal of sulfamethazine with 2,6-pyridinecarboxylic acid is a rare example of a 1:1 cocrystal of sulfmethazine with dicarboxylic acid. It has methanol molecules as a solvent of crystallization. Sulfamethazine forms a hydrated cocrystal with 4-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)-phenylcarboxylic acid that has conventional R 2 2(8) synthons of amidine hydrogen-bonding with carboxylic acid. The phenolic part of the acid component is anchored to the water molecule and provides a robust self-assembly. The hydrated cocrystal of sulfamethazine with 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (2:2 cocrystal) has two independent molecules of sulfamethazine, one in amidine form and the other in imidine form. It has two neutral carboxylic acids anchored through complementary hydrogen bonds and also has two water molecules of crystallization. The cocrystal of sulfamethazine with 4-(phenyl)phenylcarboxylic acid is also a 2:2 cocrystal. It is a di-hydrate, which has a neutral and protonated form of sulfamethazine. The neutral form is hydrogen-bonded to a neutral carboxylic acid, whereas the protonated form is charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded to the corresponding carboxylate anion.

Abstract
Novel 7,7'-((anthracene-9,10-diylbis(methylene))bis(oxy))bis(4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one) (BisCA) was prepared as fluorescent probe. The chemical structure of the novel BisCA was confirmed by spectroscopic data as well as elemental analyses. The solvatochromic characteristics of the new proble and its precursors were investigated in different solvents including, ethanol, DMF and toluene as protic polar, aprotic polar and non-polar solvents, respectively. Photo-physical parameters of probes, such as fluorescence quantum yields, fluorescence lifetime of excited state, radiative and non-radiative decay, were assessed in different media. The intermolecular H-bond effect on absorption and excitation spectra of the novel probe was reported in different solvents. Also, Onsager cavity radius and dipole moment of ground state and excited state of the probe were calculated as described by Bakhshiev and Reichardt methods.

Abstract
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 photophysical properties of the Schiff base family are crucial for their applications such as molecular switches and molecular memories. However, it was found that the photophysical behavior is not uniform for all Schiff base molecules, which shows a significant substituent dependent property. In this article, we studied the photoisomerization mechanism of one Schiff base chlorosubstituted derivative 2-(1-(methylimino)methyl)-6-chlorophenol by employing geometrical optimization, energy profiles scanning, and on-the-fly dynamical simulations. Three types of minimum energy conical intersections were located on the S1/S0 crossing seam, with two characterized by twisting motion of the C=N bond and one featured with the excited state intramolecular proton transfer process and then twisting motion around the C=C bond [excited-state intramolecular proton transfer process (ESIPT)-then-twisting]. By a combination of the dynamics simulation results with the energy profiles scanned along with the ESIPT coordinate, it was found that the photophysical property of the targeted molecule is different from that of most Schiff base members, which prefer to decay by a twisting motion around the C=N bridge bond rather than the ESIPT-then-twisting channel. The minor ESIPT channel is probably governed by a tunneling mechanism. The proposed deactivation mechanism can provide a reasonable explanation for the observations in the experiment and would provide fundamental indications for further design of new and efficient photochromic products.

Abstract
As one of the most fundamental processes, excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) plays a major role in both chemical and biological systems. In the past several decades, experimental and theoretical studies on ESPT systems have attracted considerable attention because of their tremendous potential in fluorescent probes, biological imaging, white-light-emitting materials, and organic optoelectronic materials. ESPT is related to fluorescence properties and usually occurs on an ultrafast time scale at or below 100 fs. Consequently, steady-state and femtosecond time-resolved absorption, fluorescence, and vibrational spectra have been used to explore the mechanism of ESPT. However, based on previous experimental studies, direct information, such as transition state geometries, energy barrier, and potential energy surface (PES) of the ESPT reaction, is difficult to obtain. These data are important for unravelling the detailed mechanism of ESPT reaction and can be obtained from state-of-the-art ab initio excited-state calculations. In recent years, an increasing number of experimental and theoretical studies on the detailed mechanism of ESPT systems have led to tremendous progress. This Account presents the recent advances in theoretical studies, mainly those from our group. We focus on the cases where the theoretical studies are of great importance and indispensable, such as resolving the debate on the stepwise and concerted mechanism of excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT), revealing the sensing mechanism of ESPT chemosensors, illustrating the effect of intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction, investigating the fluorescence quenching mechanism of ESPT systems by twisting process, and determining the size of the solute·(solvent) n cluster for the solvent-assisted ESPT reaction. Through calculation of vertical excitation energies, optimization of excited-state geometries, and construction of PES of the ESPT reactions, we provide modifications to experimentally proposed mechanisms or completely new mechanism. Our proposed new and inspirational mechanisms based on theoretical studies can successfully explain the previous experimental results; some of the mechanisms have been further confirmed by experimental studies and provided guidance for researchers to design new ESPT chemosensors. Determination of the energy barrier from an accurate PES is the key to explore the ESPT mechanism with theoretical methods. This approach becomes complicated when the charge transfer state is involved for time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method and optimally tuned range-separated TDDFT provides an alternative way. To unveil the driving force of ESPT reaction, the excited-state molecular dynamics combined with the intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations can be employed. These advanced approaches should be used for further studies on ESPT systems.

Abstract
The vibrational spectra of 4,6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine (DMMP) in acetonitrile, methanol, and water were assigned by resonance Raman spectroscopy through a combination of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), FT-Raman UV-vis spectroscopy, and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. The FT-Raman spectra show that the neat solid DMMP is formed as a dimer due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In methanol and water, however, the majority of the Raman spectra were assigned to the vibrational modes of DMMP(solvent) n ( n = 1-4) clusters containing NH···O hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular NH···O hydrogen bond interactions, which are key constituents of the stable DMMP thione structure, revealed significant structural differences in acetonitrile, methanol, and water. In addition, UV-induced hydrogen transfer isomeric reactions between the thione and thiol forms of DMMP were detected in water and acetonitrile. DFT calculations indicate that the observed thione → thiol tautomerization should occur easily in lower excited states in acetonitrile and water.
