In polar solvents the compounds <strong>A</strong>-<strong>D</strong> exhibited higher Stokes shifts than nonpolar solvents. So the change in excited state intermolecular interactions such as H-bonding brought changes in dipole moments. These derivatives were evaluated for their fluorescence quantum yield (QY) which exhibited fluorescence emission in blue region, as confirmed by CIE diagram. The QY was also effected by polarity of the solvents as compounds <strong>A</strong>-<strong>D</strong> gave least QY in methanol compared to BuOH. The solid state absorption and emission spectral analysis indicated red shift in the emission spectra than in solvents with highest for compound <strong>E</strong> (-NO<sub>2</sub>) which could be accounted for J-aggregation in the solid state. These aggregation patterns changed in solution state. The compound E did not show any emission in the polar solvents due to quenching.

To gain deeply insight into the connection between two reactions, the geometry optimization, the calculation of electron spectra, and the construction of minimum energy paths of ESIPT and cyclization were carried out under solvent and gas phases. These studied were based on closed shell and unrestricted open shell density functional theory, as well as other quantum chemistry methods. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative analyses of the electron structure revealed that the competition between two reactions is fundamentally driven by changes in aromaticity and electron delocalization. Furthermore, it was theoretically proved that the regulation of ESIPT is realized by changing environmental parameters, leading to a novel method for precise control of photocyclization reaction.
