Marcus inversion is observed for excited state proton transfer in the adiabatic limit using naphthol based photoacids
Marcus theory is applied on ESPT reactions in the adiabatic limit, using cyano-naphthol derivatives. A systematic variation of the reaction exergonicity is achieved by changing the proton donor, solvent (acts as base) and the temperature. Marcus inverted regions are observed for the proton recombina...
