Photoacids in biochemical applications
摘要： BACKGROUND: After excitation with light photoacids can change the pH in a solution by release of a proton. They have been used mostly for excited state proton transfer studies. In this review the general functionality and mechanisms and the subdivision of photoacids is explained. STATE OF THE ART: Different uses of photoacids are described, covering a wide range of various biochemical topics, focusing on biochemical applications. Examples for the introduced subdivisions are covered. CONCLUSIONS AND OUTLOOK: The areas in which photoacids can be employed are diverse. Photoacids have a promising future in biotechnology and biochemistry and should be considered for upcoming applications, especially in non-invasive control of biochemical reactions.

Excited state structural dynamics of 4-cyano-4′-hydroxystilbene: deciphering the signatures of proton-coupled electron transfer using ultrafast Raman loss spectroscopy
摘要： The photo-initiated proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process plays a crucial role in the context of light harvesting in various biological and chemical systems. Molecular model systems are typically employed to understand the mechanisms underlying the functioning of complex biological systems. Some molecular dyads based on the PCET property have been particularly designed to achieve efficient sunlight-to-fuel production. Organic photoacids are potential sources for such applications since they exhibit an enhancement in their acidity upon photoexcitation, facilitating the mimicking of some of the biological processes. p-Hydroxybenzylideneimidazolinone (p-HBI), an organic photoacid, is a key chromophore in green fluorescent protein, which exhibits green emission due to excited state proton transfer. Herein, we investigate the structural changes and dynamics of 4-cyano-40-hydroxystilbene (CHSB), an analogue of p-HBI, in the presence of an external base, t-butylamine (TBA), using the techniques of ultrafast transient absorption, emission and ultrafast Raman loss spectroscopy.
