Abstract

Abstract : Photoacids have been understood, since the pioneering work of Theodor Förster more than seven decades ago, to show a pronounced increase in acidity when electronically excited, but the underlying microscopic mechanisms have remained elusive. Sebastian Eckert et al. show in their Research Article (e202200709 ) how time‐resolved nitrogen K‐edge spectroscopy along the Förster cycle of a photoacid provides key insight into the electronic structural factors responsible for the photoacidity phenomenon.
