What is it about?

Anthracene-urea compounds (9An and 2An), a pyrene-urea compound (Py) and an anthracene-diurea compound (9,10An) to reveal the interactions between urea compounds and the solvent molecules.

Why is it important?

We found that the tautomer structures (T*) of urea compounds were stabilized by proton acceptability rather than solvent polarity due to stabilization of T* resulting from hydrogen bonding interaction with a solvent.

Perspectives

The present study is the first discovery of a tautomer structure generated by ESIPT by using kinetic analysis.
