Abstract
Excited state intramolecular proton transfer in 1-chloroacetylaminoanthraquinone is investigated from the perspective of the solvent. Using a new two-dimensional nonlinear optical spectroscopy the solvent response is probed directly as the proton transfer takes place. The measurements indicate that solvent reorganization controls the proton transfer in acetonitrile by dynamically shifting the position of equilibrium in the excited state, even on subpicosecond time scales.
