摘要
The compound 6-azaindole undergoes self-assembly by formation of N(1)-HN(6) hydrogen bonds (H bonds), forming a cyclic, triply H-bonded trimer. The formation phenomenon is visualized by scanning tunneling microscopy. Remarkably, the H-bonded trimer undergoes excited-state triple proton transfer (ESTPT), resulting in a proton-transfer tautomer emission maximized at 435nm (325nm of the normal emission) in cyclohexane. Computational approaches affirm the thermodynamically favorable H-bonded trimer formation and the associated ESTPT reaction. Thus, nearly half a century after Michael Kasha discovered the double H-bonded dimer of 7-azaindole and its associated excited-state double-proton-transfer reaction, the triply H-bonded trimer formation of 6-azaindole and its ESTPT reaction are demonstrated.
