Revealing Structure–Function Relationships Involving Substituent Position for Isoquinoline Photobases

ABSTRACT Photobases are molecules that become much stronger bases upon photoexcitation. Previous experimental work has carefully characterized structure–function relationships for 5‐substituted quinolines, demonstrating that the thermodynamic driving force for excited‐state proto...
