Curcumin and its derivatives have intramolecular low-barrier hydrogen bonds for intramolecular proton transfer. The pi-delocalization in the OCCCO framework of the hydrogen bond in these compounds is reorganized concomitantly with the proton transfer. Path integral molecular dynamics simulations were performed to characterize the hydrogen bond and pi-delocalization, revealing a weak correlation between proton migration and reorganization of the pi-delocalized structure.
