Proton transport of water in acid-base reactions of 7-hydroxyquinoline.
The sequential, Grotthuss-type, proton-transport mechanism of water has been experimentally observed in the excited-state tautomerization of a 7-hydroxyquinoline molecule complexed cyclically with two water molecules in diethyl ether.
