Abstract Background Carbon dots (C-dots) are photoluminescent nanoparticles with less than 10 nm in size. Today, many studies are performed to exploit the photoluminescence (PL) property of carbon dots, and our focus in this study is to estimate the dipole moment of carbon dots. For reaching our aims, C-dots were synthesized and dissolved in the different solvents. Results Carbon dots with intense photoluminescence properties have been synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method from a carbon bio-source. In this research, we report on the effect of aprotic solvents on absorption and fluorescence spectra and dipole moments of C-dots dispersed in a range of many aprotic solvents with various polarity and dielectric constant at room temperature. The change in the value of dipole moment was estimated by using the Stokes shifts. The difference between the dipole moment of the excited state and the ground state was shown using an extended form of Lippert equations by Kawski and co-workers. Conclusions The values found for μg = 1.077 D, and μe = 3.157 D, as well as the change in the dipole moments. The results showed that the dipole moment of the excited state is more than the ground state, indicating a high density and redistribution of electrons in the excited state. Finally, the quantum yield of C-dots in the eclectic aprotic solvents was communicated and discussed.

Photophysical properties of a supramolecular amphiphile of calix[4]arene having benzofurazan moiety at the lower rim, L has been studied. Electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of L have been recorded in wide range of solvents of different polarities and data were used to study solvatochromic properties. The ground state and the excited state dipole moment of L were estimated from the Bakhshiev's and Bilot-Kawaski's equations. High value of dipole moment is observed for excited state as compared to ground state value and this is attributed to more polar excited state of molecule. Also, fluorescence emission peak undergoes a bathochromic shift with increase in the polarity of the solvent, confirming π-> π* transition. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that the aggregation of L is increased on going from the polar to non polar solvents. Keywords: solvatochromism, benzofurazan, dipole moment, quantum yield, absorption, fluoresence.

Abstract The electric dipole moment of yt-Base calculated by the CNDO/S and JNDO/S method is μg = 3.42 D and μg = 3.74 D in the ground state and μe = 4.41 D and μe = 5.67 D in the first excited ππ*-state, respectively, μg and μe being nearly antiparallel. Measurements of absorption and fluorescence spectra of yt-Base in aprotic solvents of different polarity yielded μg = 3.8 D and μe = 4.3 D and the directions of dipole moments were found to be nearly antiparallel.This comparison may be considered as an indication for the ππ* character of the observable first excited state, although the CNDO/S-and JNDO/S-calculations predict a nπ*-state as the lowest lying excited state

The solvent effect on absorption and fluorescence spectra of      a ketocyanine      dye 2,5-di[(E)-1-(4- dipropylaminophenyl)     methylidine]-1-cyclopentanone (2,5-DPAPMC) is analysed using Lippert-Mataga bulk polarity function, Reichardt’s microscopic solvent polarity parameter and Kamlet’s multipl e linear regression approach. The spectral properties better follows Reichardt’s microscopic solvent polarity parameter than Lippert-Mataga bulk polarity parameter. This indicates the presence of both general solute – solvent interactions and specific   interactions.   Kamlet’s multiple linear regression   approach indicates the major role of polarizability/dipolarity solvent influence than HBD and HBA. The spectral data in different solvents is used to estimate excited state dipole moment using theoretically determined ground state dipole moment. The excited state dipole moment of dye is found to be larger than its corresponding ground state dipole moment and, ground and excited state dipole moments are not parallel, but subtends an angle of 29 o .

The fundamental and the fluorescence anisotropies of New Red and Erythrosine were measured. The intersection angles between the absorption and the emission dipole moments for New Red and Erythrosine are 4.44[Formula: see text] and 23.26[Formula: see text], respectively. The average angle shift of the emission dipole moment of New Red is 3.91[Formula: see text] during the lifetime of the excited state. This indicates that it has a bifurcated linear structure with weak rotational capacity. The average angle shift of the emission dipole moment of Erythrosine is 9.25[Formula: see text], indicating that it has a partial planar structure and is easier to rotate. The spatial ground state structures were simulated with Gaussian 09.

The results obtained both in quantum chemical computation and in solvatochromic study of pyridinium di-carbethoxy methylid (PCCM) are correlated in order to estimate the electric dipole moment in the excited state of this molecule. This estimation is made by a variational method in the hypothesis that the molecular polarizability does not change in time of the absorption process. Ternary solutions of PCCM in protic binary solvents are used here, both establishing the contribution of each type of interaction to the spectral shift and to characterize the composition of the first solvation shell of PCCM. Results are compared with those obtained before for other binary solvents. The difference between the interaction energies in molecular pairs of PCCM-active solvent and PCCM-less active solvent was also estimated based on the cell statistical model of the ternary solutions.

Levofloxacin (LVF) and norfloxacin (NRF) are a group of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, broad spectrum used to treat various infections caused by many bacterial species. The drugs contain functional groups which control the type and degree of interaction with different solvents. In this research, the ground and excited state dipole moments of LVF and NRF drugs were estimated using solvatochromic effects and computational work. The dipole moments were estimated from absorption and emission spectra in polar and nonpolar solvents using Bakhshiev’s, Kawski–Chamma–Viallet, Lippert–Mataga, and Reichardt models. The results indicated the emission spectra are more strongly affected by solvent polarity than the absorption spectra. The calculated excited state dipole moment is larger than that of the ground state, indicating that the probe compounds are significantly more polarized in the excited state than in the ground state. From computational work, the HOMO-LUMO energy band gap, the dipole moments, electron charge density distribution, and oscillator strength were determined using the semiempirical MP6 method, DFT-B3LYP-6-31G, and DFT-B3LYP-3-21G employing Gaussian 09 software. In general, larger dipole moments were obtained by computation rather than from experiments due to the absence of solvent effects.

Abstract The dipole moments in the ground-and excited-state of the fluorescence probe 6-propionyl-2-(dim-ethylamino)naphthalene (PRODAN) are determined from solvatochromic shifts to μe = 2.1 D and μg = 6.4 D. These values concern the free molecule. In the first excited singlet state the dipole moment is only 3 times greater than in the ground state.

Abstract The electronic absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of N-(2,5-dimethyl-pyrrol-1-yl)-2-(5-methoxybenzofuran-3-yl)acetamide (DPMA) molecule were recorded in various solvents at room temperature with the aim of estimation of ground state (\({\mu }_{g}\)) and excited states (\({\mu }_{e}\)) dipole moments using Lippert’s, Bakshiev’s and Kawski-Chamma-Viallete’s equations. The results were signified that, the excited state dipole moment is greater than the ground state dipole moment, which indicates the excited state dipole moment is more polar than the ground state dipole moment. Ecofriendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using catharanthus roseus (C.R) leaf extract was done. These synthesized Ag NPs were used as fluorescence quenchers. Fluorescence lifetime measurement is carried out using time correlated single photon counting technique of DPMA molecule with various concentrations of Ag NPs. A linear Stern-Volmer (S-V) plot was obtained in steady state and transient state method. Furthermore we have estimated computational calculations such as ground state optimized geometry, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), experimental and theoretical energy band gap, solvent polarity and normalized solvent polarity values. Morphology and sizes of green synthesized silver NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and also characterized by UV-Visible absorption.

The exited state (μe) dipole moment of a molecule is an important parameter, which gives information about electronic and geometrical structure of the molecule in the short-lived state. We have experimentally estimated the exited state (μe) dipole moment of two novel coumarin derivatives, namely, diethyl 2-acetamido-2-((6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl) methyl) malamute (DAM) and 5,6-Benzo-3-[1-(4,5-dicarbomethoxy-1,2,3-triazoloacetyl)] coumarin (5BDTC) by three methods, namely, Lippert’s, Bakhshiev’s, and Kawski–Chamma–Viallet’s. In the Solvatochromic shift method, spectral shift is due to internal excitation of the molecule. We have recorded absorption and emission spectra of the above two novel coumarin derivatives at room temperature using solvents of different polarities. The geometry of the molecules were fully optimized and the ground state dipole moment (μg) were also calculated theoretically by Gaussian 03 software using B3LYP/6-31g* level of theory. The excited state dipole moment was calculated using CIS/6-31G* level of theory. The μg and μe were calculated using the solvatochromic shift method and μe was also determined in combination with μg. It was observed that μe were greater than those of μg, indicating a substantial redistribution of the π-electron densities in a more polar excited state for this coumarin. Further, the changes in dipole moment (Δμ) were calculated both from the solvatochromic shift method and on the basis of microscopic empirical solvent polarity ([Formula: see text]) and the values are compared.
