Abstract
We have studied the relaxation dynamics of a family of azaindole (AI) structural isomers, 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-AI, by steady-state and time-resolved methods (fs-transient absorption and fluorescence up-conversion), in solvents of different polarity. The measurements in aprotic solvents show distinctive fluorescence yields and excited state lifetimes among the isomers, which are tuned by the polarity of the medium. Guided by simple TD-DFT calculations and based on the behavior observed in the isolated species, it has been possible to address the influence of the environment polarity on the relaxation route. According to the obtained picture, the energy of the nπ* state, which is strongly dependent on the position of the pyridinic nitrogen, controls the rate of the internal conversion channel that accounts for the distinctive photophysical behavior of the isomers. On the other hand, preliminary measurements in protic media (methanol) show a very different photodynamical behavior, in which the anomalous measured fluorescent patterns are very likely the result of reactive channels (proton transfer) triggered by the electronic excitation.

Abstract
The effect of substituted alkyl groups at different substituted position on the first excited-state proton transfer of nR7AI-H2O (n = 2-6; R = CH3, C2H5, CF3) complexes were theoretically investigated at the TD-M06-2X/6-31 + G(d, p) level. Here n value denoted the substituted position Cn of R group. The replacement of alkyl R group had no effect on the features of HOMO and LUMO, but influenced the S0 → S1 adiabatic transition energies of the nR7AI-H2O complex. Through computation, we found that the double proton transfer took place in a concerted but asynchronous protolysis pattern regardless of substituted group R and substituted position in the nR7AI-H2O complex. The vibrational-mode specific nature of ESPT was verified. The alkyl group R changed the geometrical parameters of TS, and resulted in enlarging/narrowing the asynchronousity of ESPT. The ESPT barrier height was also affected by the substituted group and position.

Abstract
The stepwise and concerted excited state intermolecular proton transfer (PT) and hydrogen transfer (HT) reactions in 2-hydroxypyridine-(NH3)2 complex in the gas phase under Cs symmetry constraint and without any symmetry constraints were performed using quantum chemical calculations. It shows that upon excitation, the hydrogen bonded in 2HP-(NH3)2 cluster facilitates the releasing of both hydrogen and proton transfer reactions along ammonia wire leading to the formation of the 2-pyridone tautomer. For the stepwise mechanism, it has been found that the proton and the hydrogen may transfer consecutively. These processes are distinguished from each other through charge translocation analysis and the coupling between the motion of the proton and the electron density distribution along ammonia wire. For the complex under Cs symmetry, the excited state HT occurs on the A″((1)πσ*) and A'((1)nσ*) states over two accessible energy barriers along reaction coordinates, and excited state PT proceeds mainly through the A'((1)ππ*) and A″((1)nπ*) potential energy surfaces. For the unconstrained complex, potential energy profiles show two (1)ππ*-(1)πσ* conical intersections along enol → keto reaction path indicating that proton and H atom are localized, respectively, on the first and second ammonia of the wire. Moreover, the concerted excited state PT is competitive to take place with the stepwise process, because it proceeds over low barriers of 0.14 eV and 0.11 eV with respect to the Franck-Condon excitation of enol tautomer, respectively, under Cs symmetry and without any symmetry constraints. These barriers can be probably overcome through tunneling effect.

Abstract
In this work, the dynamics of hydrogen bonds (as well as the hydrogen-bonded wire) in excited-state tautomerization of 7-hydroxyquinoline·(NH3)3 (7HQ·(NH3)3) cluster has been investigated by using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). It shows that upon an excitation, the hydrogen bond between -OH group in 7-hydroxyquinoline (7HQ) and NH3 moiety would extremely strengthened in S1 state, which could effectively facilitate the releasing of the proton from the phenolic group of 7HQ moiety to the hydrogen-bonded wire and the forming an Eigen-like cationic wire (NH3···NH4(+)···NH3) in the cluster. To fulfill the different optimal angles of NH4(+) in the wire, a wagging motion of hydrogen-bonded wire would occur in excited state. Moreover, the wagging motion of the hydrogen-bonded wire would effectively promote excited-state proton transfer reaction. As the results, an excited-state multiple proton transfer (ESMPT) mechanism containing two concerted and asymmetrical processes has been proposed for the proton transfer dynamics of 7HQ·(NH3)3 cluster.

Abstract
The photophysical behavior of a 1:1 complex between phenol and 7-azaindole (7AI) has been investigated in methylcyclohexane solutions at temperatures in the range of 27 to -50 °C. A linear Benesi-Hildebrand plot associated with changes in absorbance of the complex with phenol concentration in the solutions ensures 1:1 stoichiometry of the produced complex. Our estimate for the value of the association constant (K(a)) of the complex is ~120 M⁻¹ at 27 °C, and it is nearly twice compared to that for 1:1 complex between 7AI and ethanol measured under the same condition. The complexation results in dramatic quenching of the normal fluorescence of 7AI and the process is accelerated upon lowering of temperature. The measured spectra show no indication that phenol promotes tautomerization of 7AI in the excited state. We have argued that the hydrogen bonding between pyridinic N and phenolic O-H (N···O-H) is a vital structural factor responsible for quenching of 7AI fluorescence, and this idea has been corroborated by showing that under same condition the fluorescence of 7AI is enhanced in the presence of anisole. As a plausible mechanism of quenching, we have invoked a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process between phenol and excited 7AI, which outweighs the competing tautomerization process. An analysis in terms of Remm-Weller model reveals that the PCET process involving phenol and excited 7AI could be energetically favorable (ΔG(ET)(0) < 0). An alternative mechanism, where quenching can occur via electronic energy transfer from the excited protonated 7AI to phenoxide ion, following a proton transfer along the N···O-H hydrogen bond, is also discussed.
