The proton transfer reaction in methyl 5-R-salicylate is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of specific substituents in resonance with the hydroxyl group, leading to different fluorescence behaviors of methyl 5-R-salicylate with different substituents.

The ability of phenol to transfer the proton to surrounding ammonia molecules in a phenol-(ammonia)n cluster will depend on the relative orientation of the ammonia molecules and a critical field of about 285 MV cm-1 is essential along the O–H bond for the transfer process. Ab-initio MD simulations reveal that for a spontaneous proton transfer process, the phenol molecule must be embedded in a cluster consisting of at least eight ammonia molecules, even though several local minima with proton transferred can be observed for clusters consisting of 5-7 ammonia molecules. Further, phenol solvated in large clusters of ammonia, the proton transfer is spontaneous with the proton transfer event being instantaneous (about 20-120 fs). These simulations indicate that the rate-determining step for the proton transfer process is the organization of the solvent around the OH group and the proton transfer process in phenol-(ammonia)n clusters follows a curvilinear path which includes the O–H bond elongation and out-of-plane movement of the proton and can be referred to as a “Bend-to-Break” process.
