TLDR
In this paper, it was found that the rate of proton transfer decreases more rapidly in water propanol solutions than in water ethanol solutions, which can be interpreted in terms of water breaking structure by the organic solvent.

Excited-state proton transfer reactions I. Fundamentals and intermolecular reactions

TL;DR: Theoretical models that have been proposed and applied to proton transfer reactions are reviewed in this paper, where simple models, like the Eigen model, Marcus theory and the intersecting state model, are applied to excited-state intermolecular proton transfers.

Geminate recombination in excited-state proton-transfer reactions: Numerical solution of the Debye-Smoluchowski equation with backreaction and comparison with experimental results

TL;DR: In this paper, the Debye-smoluchowski equation is solved numerically with boundary conditions which account for the reversibility of the reaction, and the intrinsic rate constants are used to predict steady-state rates, yields, and pK values, in agreement with experiment.

Clustering of water on hydrated protons in a supersonic free jet expansion

J. Q. Searcy, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the size distribution and growth in the gas phase of ions in the series H+(H2O)n were investigated. But the results were limited to n = 28.

Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a four-charge model for each molecule and a modification of the prior ''BNS'' interaction was proposed to improve the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation, leading to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x-ray scattering experiments.

Liquid Water: Molecular Correlation Functions from X‐Ray Diffraction

TL;DR: For nearly spherical molecules, the x-ray scattering from liquids yields structure and correlation functions for molecular scattering centers as discussed by the authors, which provide a sensitive test for future work on a molecular theory of liquid water.

Acid-Base Properties of Electronically Excited States of Organic Molecules

TL;DR: In this paper, the acid-base properties of electronically excited states of organic molecules are discussed and the effects of solvation on 0-0 energies are discussed. And the changes in molecular fluorescence with acidity give information about the protolytic behavior of the excited singlet state of a compound.
