Förster cycle of an amine photoacid

Caption

Fig. 1: Förster cycle of an amine photoacid, showing electronic ground states S0 and the first excited states S1 of the acidic (left) and basic (right) species. There are the four stages of photoacid behaviour in aqueous solution, as shown by the cartoons. In the centre transient soft-X-ray spectra are shown, measured on 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (APTS).
