Computational unveiling of solvent-polarity-dependent ESDPT behavior in typical asymmetric PIQ fluorophores.

Molecules exhibiting excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) hold significant promise for bioimaging applications. While symmetric ESIPT systems are well-studied, the mechanism of asymmetric excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) r…
