Abstract

The photoprotolytic properties of a recently synthesized photoacid, hydroxycoumarin-dipicolinium salt (HCD) were studied by means of time-resolved emission techniques. We found that HCD is a super-photoacid with pKa*<-2 and with an excited-state proton transfer to water with a rate constant of ^kPT=1.4×10¹¹s^-1. We also found that HCD undergoes ESPT in a large number of protic solvents. The kinetic isotope effect is about two for water, methanol and ethanol.
