Front Cover: Advancements in the Design and Development of Organic Fluorophores for the Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer Phenomenon (Chem. Rec. 11/2025)
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) happens when a molecule, upon photon absorption, is promoted to an electronically excited state, where a proton transfer occurs from a donor to an acceptor group within the molecule. This process generates an excited-state tautomer, often exhibiting a lower ionization potential. Consequently, the fluore scence spectra display a notable Stokes shift, with emission peaks shifted toward longer wavelengths. More details can be found in the Review by Rampal Pandey, Mrituanjay D. Pandey, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/tcr.202500109).
