Abstract
In this chapter we will review the processes at play in the excited states of protonated molecules. More specifically, the discussion will be restricted to aromatic molecules, on which the majority of studies have been focused. Rather than going into details of each system, we will highlight the trends and general mechanisms that are involved in the excited state energy and dynamics. The interested reader can find detailed descriptions of each molecule in the individual publications. It appears that the excited state dynamics of many aromatic ions can be understood upon the application of rather elementary and universal concepts, the simplest of which being that the excited electron is attracted to the proton, triggering a large part of the excited state dynamics.
