Tóm tắt

AbstractThe proton occupies a special position as a promoter and mediator in chemical reactions occurring in solution. Many reactions in organic chemistry are catalysed by acids or bases; likewise, most enzymes contain active groups which promote acid‐base catalysis. To understand the reaction mechanisms involved, it is necessary to identify the elementary steps as well as their course in time. Systematic investigation of these elementary steps as well as their course in time. Systematic investigation of these elementary steps has become possible only with the development of new methods for studying very fast reactions. The present paper reviews the information obtained in this type of investigation. The result is a relatively complete picture of the elementary proton transfer mechanisms and a comprehensive description of the modes and laws of acid‐base and enzymatic catalysis.

The lifetime of a central H3O+in the H9O4+complex should be somewhat greater and that of a peripheral H3O+somewhat less than that in ice crystals because of the electrostatic effect of the secondary and tertiary H2O molecules which are oriented towards the center.

Fluorescence transformation is the prototropic or protolytic transformation of a molecule due to a pK change upon excitation. According toTh. Föorster(Fluoreszenz organishcher Verbindungen. Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht Göttingen 1951) this change can amount to about 5 to 7 pK units. It appears as a pH shift of the point where the fluorescence spectrum changes (from the spectrum of the acid towards the spectrum of the base) relative to the corresponding point where the absorption spectrum changes. The effect is only observable if the reaction takes place within the lifetime of the excited state (≈ 10−8sec).
