3-Formyl-7-azaindole (3FAI) and its derivatives have been synthesized to study the role of the nπ* state in the excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) reaction. In 3FAI monomer as well as its associated hydrogen-bonded complexes the lowest excited singlet state has been concluded to be in the 1nπ* configuration. The association constants incorporating the hydrogen bonding formation were determined to be 1.9 × 104 (313 K), 2.2 × 104 (298 K) and 1.8 × 105 M-1 (298 K) for 3FAI dimer, 3FAI/azacyclohexanone and 3FAI/acetic acid, resp., in cyclohexane. In alcs., the rate of solvent (e.g., methanol) diffusional migration, forming a “”correct”” precursor for ESDPT, is concluded to be much slower than the rate of Sππ* → Snπ* internal conversion which has been deduced to be 4.37 × 1012 s-1. ESDPT is prohibited in the Snπ* state of which the relaxation dynamics are dominated by the rate of Snπ* → Tππ* intersystem crossing. In contrast, for 3FAI dimer or 3FAI/acetic acid complex possessing intact dual hydrogen bonds the intrinsic ESDPT is competitive with the rate of Sππ* → Snπ* internal conversion, resulting in a prominent imine-like tautomer emission. The results provide the first model among 7-azaindole analogs in which the fast rate of Sππ* → Snπ* internal conversion serves as an internal clock to examine the mechanism of guest mols. (including the bulk alcs.) assisted ESDPT.
