Popis: The excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes in 3-methylsalicyclic acid (3-MeSA) and 3-methoxysalicyclic acid (3-MeOSA) have been investigated in cyclohexane medium by emission spectroscopic techniques. The ESIPT process was characterized in 3-MeSA from the large Stokes fluorescent band (455 nm), but it was suppressed by 3-MeOSA in cyclohexane. The ESIPT process was found to be accelerated both in 3-MeSA and 3-MeOSA in the presence of a hydrogen bond accepting agent, triethylamine (TEA). Further, theoretical calculations were carried out at the ground and excited states to complement the experimental evidences.
