Abstract
O, respectively. Proton inventory experiments indicate the involvement of two water molecules and three protons, which undergo a relay type of excited-state triple proton transfer (ESTPT) in a concerted, asynchronous manner. The results demonstrate for the first time the fundamental of triple proton transfer in pure water for azaindoles as well as pave a new avenue for 2,6-diazatryptophan, an analogue of tryptophan exhibiting a similar ESTPT property with (2,6-aza)Ind, to probe biowaters in proteins.
