چکیده

The correlation between solvatochromy and the solvent-polarity-dependent rate constant k, of thermal cis-trans isomerization (solvatokinetic behavior) has been investigated for a stilbazolium-type merocyanine and an amphiphilic analogue in a polarity series of eight neat solvents (protic and aprotic). At room temperature k,, varies over 7 orders of magnitude, decreasing with increasing solvent polarity. It has been demonstrated that the first transition energy AEand the free activation enthalpy AG*, of thermal cis-trans isomerization are linearly correlated with each other and with Dimroth’s solvent polarity parameter ET. These observations and the solvent-polarity-dependent increase of absorption band width are explained in terms of a model emphasizing the strong coupling between molecular conformation, electronic charge distribution, and solvent polarization.

Solvatochromic Dyes as Solvent Polarity Indicators

This review compiles positively and negatively solvatochromic compounds which have been used to establish empirical scales of solvent polarity by means of UV/vis/near-IR spectroscopic measurements in solution-with particular emphasis on the E ~ ( 3 0 ) scale derived from negatively solvatochromic pyridinium N-phenolate betaine dyes. This requires a short discussion of the concept of solvent pol...
