摘要
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 function of polarity of the solvent. In ethanol, due to specific solute–solvent stabilization through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, a substantial amount of the keto forms exists in solution. The irradiation leads to two competitive processes in the excited state, namely ESIPT and trans/cis isomerization around the azomethine bond as in other structurally similar Schiff bases. The studied compound is not suitable for bistable tautomeric switching, where long-range PT occurs, due to the difficult enolization of the coumarin carbonyl group.
