Excited state behavior of halogen substituted model GFP chromophores was investigated in an acetonitrile solution and in a confined environment provided by an octa acid capsule in water. Of the ortho, meta, and para halogen substituted GFP chromophores only the ortho compounds gave a new product resulting from an unprecedented photosubstitution of halogens by the hydroxyl group. This unusual reaction highlights the importance of confined spaces in bringing about some unattainable photoreactions.
