| Excited state proton transfer dynamics in 7-azaindole (7AI) are of great interest due to 7AI's biological significance as a model system. This phenomena has been studied by a range of methodologies in solution and the gas phase. In our computational and experimental work using Resonance Raman spectroscopy we are afforded unique access to the early proton transfer dynamics mediated by solvent. We will present resonance Raman spectral simulations of monomer and dimer species and correlate these simulations with our isotopic spectral data. We will report the relevance of our initial computational and experimental results to ongoing consideration of the mechanism of the excited state proton transfer in 7AI and related systems as a function of solvent. |
