The absorption and uorescence spectra of highly uorescent industrially useful medium sized Red Mega
480 dye have been studied in various solvents at 298 K. The solute photophysical behavior depends
strongly on the solutesolvent interactions. In order to understand the effect of inter molecular
interactions on spectral behaviors of the dye in different solvents extent of this behavior can be analyzed
by linear solvation energy relationships. In addition, ground and excited state dipole moments were
evaluated by various methods. It is observed that excited state dipole moment (le) is larger than the
ground state (lg), absorption spectra show a bathochromic shift with increasing polarity indicating that
transition involved is p ? p and Onsager cavity radius is determined by atomic increment method.

ma versus ENT i.e. solvent polarity parameter (Eq. (3.19)) and the
slopes m1, m2, m3, m4, m5 and mNT (Eqs. (3.11)(3.15) and (3.20))
are obtained from these graphs, respectively. A linear progression
was done by employing Origin 6.0 software and the data was t
to a Straight line. The correlation coefcients, slopes, intercepts
of the linearly tted data are given in Table 4. Here in most of
the cases, correlation coefcients are found to be larger than 0.85
that indicates a good linearity with selected number of Stokes shift
data points. In few cases some of the solvents do not participate in
the correlation. Generally this deviation from linearity may be due
to specic solutesolvent interactions. The deviation from linearity
for some solvents might probably be due to hydrogen bonding nature of the molecule and at the same time charge transfer in the
excited state cannot be ruled out. For Red Mega 480 Onsager cavity
radius a = 4.53 is calculated by atomic increment method and the
various slopes are m1 = 5967.03, m2 = 2138.13, m3 = 3618.44,
m4 = 1321.5, m5 = 4735.43 and mNT = 685.80. Using the Eqs.
(3.11)(3.15), we get the dipole moment lg = 1.54 D, le = 5.99 D
(Solvatochromic method), le = 8.97 D (Lipperts method),
le = 17.42 D (McRae method), le = 58.43 D (Suppans method),

It is very interesting to note from the Table 5, small differences
are observed between the estimated values of le and by Lippert
method are large, since it does not take into account of polarizability. The le values obtained by solvatochromic method Eqs. (3.17)
and (3.18), almost agree with ENT solvent polarity method compared to any other methods, because, other methods includes only
absorption maxima and dielectric constant only. In literature one
may nd that large number of investigators has used solvatochromic shift method (Eqs. (3.17) and (3.18)) to estimate excited state

from the ground state charge distribution. It also depicts that the
observed transition is p ? p transition. The dipole moment of
Red Mega 480 molecule in excited state is higher than the ground
state. This is explained in terms of possible resonance structure as
shown in Fig. 9. The dipole moment of a probe molecule increases
almost four times on excitation can be explained in terms of nature
of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). Further a large change in
the dipole moment on excitation suggests that, strong solvent
polarity and hydrogen bonding effects possibly makes the excited
state to be twisted and intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) in
nature. Thus the presence of a large TICT and increase in planarity
on excitation render the molecule more polar as compared to
ground state giving rise to a large change in the dipole moment.
The charge transfer band shows a shift of about 17 nm in the
absorption spectra on changing the solvent from decanol to butanol, while 42 nm shift in uorescence spectra from decanol to
methanol. The absorption shift with solvent implies that the
ground state energy distribution is lesser to excited state because
of polar nature of the dipole molecule Red Mega 480.
Assuming that the symmetry of the investigated solute molecule changes upon electronic transitions, the ground and excited
state dipole moments are not exactly parallel [14]. One more notable point is the large difference in the le and lg values, clearly
indicative of charge in the molecular structure of a dye on excitation. Of course the large solvatochromic shifts in the present study
are consistent with this observation. This indicates that on excitation the orientation of the dipole moment has considerably changed. This change in the orientation in the dipole moment (h) can
be measured using the Eq. (3.22) and it is 1.82.
The polarity of a molecule depends on electron density. With
supply of additional energy there will be transition of electron
from ground state to excited state. Which leads to the delocalization of the excited state, it may be solutesolvent interactions or
intramolecular hydrogen bonding via solvent. Because of the
movement of electron from ground state orbital to excited state
orbital, there will be increase of dipole moment with reference to
ground state dipole moment. The linear ET(30) dependence of
Stokes shift indicates the existence of general type of solutesolvent interaction.
It is observed that there is bathochromic shift in absorption
maximum in most of the solvents provides the strong evidence
of excited state dipole for the Red Mega 480 laser dye is larger than
the ground state dipole moment. The calculated dipole moments
indicate the excited-state dipole moments (le) are greater than
those in ground-state (lg). Increase in the singlet excited states
dipole moments is about Dl = 4.45 D that demonstrates the dye
is more polar in excited states as compared with ground states.
Additionally, large change in dipole moments on excitation suggests that excited states are twisted intramolecular charge transfer
(TICT) in the solvent environment. TICT process increases planarity
of dyes molecular structure on excitation and increases the change
in dipole moment.

Conclusions
Solvent effect on absorption and emission spectra of investigated Red Mega 480 laser dye is complex and strongly depend
on the nature of solvents and the substituent groups.
Investigated solutesolvent interactions are generally controlled
by dipolarity/polarizability and basicity of the solvents.
The obtained excited-state dipole moment from Lippert,
Bakhashiev, KawskiChammaViallet, McRae, Suppan and solvent
polarity methods. Dye possesses greater dipole moment in excited
state than the ground state. Moreover, this large change in the
excited state dipole moment as compared to ground state is due
to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT); a large change in dipole
moment on excitation suggests that excited state is twisted
intramolecular charge transfer (TICT). Also, excited state is more
polar than the ground state.
The obtained values of dipole moments in the ground and
excited states with percentage contributions of solvatochromic
parameters for investigated dye demonstrates relative resonance
structures and quanties the interactions between solvent and
the dyes molecules.
