Abstract

Solvent assisted excited state intramolecular proton or hydrogen transfer has received much attention in bi-functional molecules with hydrogen donating and hydrogen accepting groups. As a typical photoacid, 1-naphthol exhibits photo-stable behavior in methanol; whether this would be disrupted by a bonded hydrogen accepting group contained in the molecule is still not assured. We present nanosecond transient absorption measurements relating to kinetics and the characteristic absorption of key intermediates upon the excitation of 4-nitro-1-naphthol in alcoholic solutions, and also transient resonance Raman spectroscopy studies combined with theoretical calculations to identify the structures of these intermediates, and we reveal the reaction mechanism to be stepwise deprotonation, hydrogen abstraction and protonation. These results demonstrate that alcohol assisted intramolecular proton or hydrogen transfer cannot occur in this system, but that the solvent cluster plays an important role during such stepwise reactions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
