Investigation of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer coupled charge transfer reaction of paeonol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) coupled charge transfer reaction of paeonol was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The ESIPT reaction of paeonol was predicted based on the large Stokes shift, which is observed in steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectra in an ethanol solution. The steady-state spectra in some solutions, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, dichloromethane, and n-hexane, illustrate that the ESIPT reaction of paeonol has no dependence on the solvent properties. Therefore, the excited-state intermolecular proton transfer cannot be generated in protic solvents. Using the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory methods, we make a subsequent theoretical calculation that indicates that the ESIPT reaction of paeonol occurs through the intramolecular hydrogen bond O−H···O=C. The excited-state potential energy curve of paeonol indicates that the ESIPT reaction is a barrierless process, and the fluorescence emission of paeonol at 493 nm in the ethanol solution was assigned to the keto isomer fluorescence. Additionally, we also found an intramolecular charge transfer in the excited state by analysing the frontier molecular orbitals of paeonol.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
