Carboxylic and phosphoric acid-catalyzed ESDPT in 7-azaindole formed a 1:1 cyclic hydrogen bonded acid/7-azaindole complex with a large association constant and had a greater than normal decay rate, resulting in a unique tautomer emission. 7-azaindole may be used, thus, as a suitable acid-derivative probe in a hydrophobic environment. 24 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
