The synthesis of several compounds related to ADMA are described in detail. These compounds are characterized by their mass, NMR, and IR-spectra. In addition, the solvent dependent shift of the fluorescence as well as the effect of an electric field on the fluorescence have been measured. The results are in agreement with a two-state model assuming the simultaneous fluorescence from a weakly polar and a highly polar state with dipole moment μ. μ2/a3 (a is Onsager’s radius) has been determined from both effects. The results are in good agreement with an excited state dipole moment of about 60 • 10-30Cm, in the polar state.

<p>Baird’s rule explains why and when excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions happen in organic compounds. Bifunctional compounds that are [4<i>n</i>+2] π-aromatic in the ground state, become [4<i>n</i>+2] π-antiaromatic in the first <sup>1</sup>ππ* states, and proton transfer (either<i>inter-</i>or <i>intra-</i>molecularly) helps relieve excited-state antiaromaticity. Computed nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) for several ESPT examples (including excited-state intramolecular proton transfers (ESIPT), biprotonic transfers, dynamic catalyzed transfers, and proton relay transfers) document the important role of excited-state antiaromaticity. <i>o-</i>Salicylic acid undergoes ESPT only in the “antiaromatic” S<sub>1</sub>(<sup>1</sup>ππ*) state, but not in the “aromatic” S<sub>2</sub>(<sup>1</sup>ππ*) state. Stokes’ shifts of structurally-related compounds (<i>e.g.</i>, derivatives of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole and hydrogen-bonded complexes of 2-aminopyridine with pro tic substrates) vary depending on the antiaromaticity of the photoinduced tautomers. Remarkably, Baird’s rule predicts the effect of light on hydrogen bond strengths; hydrogen bonds that enhance (and reduce) excited-state antiaromaticity in compounds become weakened (and strengthened) upon photoexcitation.</p>

The excited state deactivation of the investigated compound involves two distinct fluorescent states. 1A* → 1B* transition is accompanied by structural motions, with the 1B* state exhibiting a certain ICT character.

Multiscale molecular dynamics simulations reveal out-of-plane distortions that favour DNA photostability. A novel photostability mechanism involving four proton transfers and triggered by a nearby Na+ ion is also unveiled.
