Ground-State Tautomerism and Excited-State Proton Transfer in 7-Hydroxy-4-methyl-8-((phenylimino)methyl)-2H-chromen-2-one as a Potential Proton Crane

The tautomerism in the title compound as a potential long-range proton transfer (PT) switch has been studied by using the DFT and TD-DFT approaches. The data show that in aprotic solvents, the enol tautomer dominates, while the increase in the content of the keto tautomer (short-range PT) rises as a...
