Front Cover: Rational Modulation of Excited‐State Intramolecular Proton Transfer, Aggregation‐Induced Emission, and Intramolecular Motion on Polysubstituted Imidazoles (ChemPhotoChem 1/2026)
Abstract
The Front Cover illustrates the concept of the “ESIPT machine,” symbolizing the synthesis of N-substituted imidazoles via the Debus–Radziszewski reaction. The assembly line represents the multi-component process leading to molecules that could exhibit a tunable solvent-dependent excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process.
