1. In general, it is difficult to distinguish the mechanism between proton transfer and hydrogen atom transfer reactions. Herein, we simply adopted the conventional term, namely "proton transfer", throughout the text, as it is particularly more suitable in describing the solvent polarity coupled proton transfer tautomerism.

13. In some ESIPT molecules, the lowest excited singlet state is in an nπ* configuration, in which the rate of ESIPT is very slow in comparison to that of the ππ* configuration.
14. ESIPT incorporating phenol O-H to a β-carbon atom is not included in this category, see: M. Lukeman, P. Wan, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 9458-9464.
