8-Hydroxy-5-nitroquinoline (NO2-QN-OH) is an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer agent, and has been approved for use in the treatment of diseases. Its photosensitivity, however, cannot be overlooked. The photochemistry of 8-hydroxy-5-nitroquinoline in acetonitrile is investigated using transient absorption and time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopies. By identifying the short-lived intermediates during the photoreaction, it is clear that the Tn state NO2-QN-OH is generated in 0.8 ps via an ultrafast ISC, followed by the IC in 8.5 ps to produce the T1 state. In neat acetonitrile, the T1 state NO2-QN-OH undergoes intramolecular proton transfer and tautomerizes to form T1 state NO2-QNH-O. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the intramolecular excited state proton transfer of hydroxyl-quinolines in an aprotic polar solvent is observed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
