Abstract

We report the first investigation of the fast excited-state intramolecular proton transfer of 3-hydroxyflavone. Picosecond stimulated emission and transient absorption spectroscopy demonstrate that the tautomer formation can be monitored by 620-nm transient absorption. The excited-state proton transfer was studied at 620 nm with femtosecond time resolution, and determined to be 240±50 fs in a nonpolar solvent environment. The fast excited-state proton transfer in methanol solution, however, was faster than the 125-fs instrument response
