Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The concerted double proton transfer undergone by the C dimer of 7-azaindole upon electronic excitation has also been reported to occur in 3-methyl-7-azaindole monocrystals and in dimers of this compound under free-jet conditions. However, the results obtained in this work for the 3-methyl-7-azaindole dimer formed in a 10 M solution of the compound in 2-methylbutane suggest that the dimer produces no fluorescent signal consistent with a double proton transfer in the liquid phase or in a matrix. In this paper, the spectroscopic behavior of the doubly hydrogen bonded dimer of 3-methyl-7-azaindole is shown to provide a prominent example of molecular symmetry control over the spectroscopy of a substance. This interpretation opens up a new, interesting research avenue for exploring the ability of molecular symmetry to switch between protontransfer mechanisms. It should be noted that symmetry changes in the 3-methyl-7-azaindole dimer are caused by an out-of-phase internal rotation of the two methyl groups © 2006 American Chemical Society.
