Abstract
The development of picosecond laser techniques has led to a renewed interest in the spectroscopy and kinetics of aromatic molecules which may undergo excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT, fig. 1). The ESIPT reaction is evidenced by a large Stokes shift for fluorescence from the proton-transferred molecule.1
