  • The change in the electronic absorption and emission energy of 7-aminocoumarin derivatives in binary solvent mixtures has been studied. The electronic transition energy along with the Stokes' shift is correlated with the orientation polarizability of the solvent as well as the empirical solvent polarity parameters $E_T$ (30). It is observed that the emission peak shift traces the change of $E_T$ (30) value very closely in binary solvent mixtures. The emission transition more strongly depends on the solvent polarity than the absorption, which indicates the dipole moment gets larger on excitation. From the dependence of the Stokes’ shift of 7-aminocoumarins with the solvent polarity parameters and the ground state dipole moment obtained by the semi-empirical calculations, the excited state dipole moment was estimated. The fluorescence lifetime change of 7-aminocoumarins in binary solvent mixtures was measured and the results are explained in terms of molecular conformation and solvent polarity. The study indicates the empirical solvent polarity $E_T$ (30) is a good measure of microscopic solvent polarity and it probes in general the non-specific solvent interactions.

  • The fluorescence properties and photoisomerization behavior of 1-(9-anthryl)-2-(n-quinolinyl)ethene (n-AQE, n=2-4) have been investigated in various solvents. t-3-AQE is strongly fluorescent, but does not accomplish photoisomerization, similar to parent hydrocarbon compound, t-1-(9-anthryl)-2-phenylethene (t-9-APE) or t-1-(9-anthryl)-2-(1-naphthyl)ethene (t-1-ANE). Fluorescence and photoisomerization oft-2-AQE and t-4-AQE are strongly affected by solvent polarity. Dependence of fluorescence quantum yield on the solvent polarity is moderate for t-2-AQE and large for t-4-AQE. In nonpolar solvent (in n-hexane), they exhibit relatively strong fluorescence, but do not isomerize to cis isomer on irradiation, even if inefficient isomerization is observed for t-4-AQE. However, as solvent polarity increases, their fluorescences become weak with efficient photoisomerization to corresponding cis isomer. Intramolecular charge-transfer excited state is presumed to contribute to photoisomerization. The S$_1$ decay parameters were found to be solvent-dependent due to the charge-transfer character of lowest S$_1$ state. In polar solvents, the activation barrier to twisting is reduced enhancing the isomerization of r-2-AQE and t-4-AQE in the singlet manifold.

  • Preferential solvation (PS) phenomena of solutes based on solvent polarity, $E_T$ and AN, were studied by UV/vis. and NMR spectra in MeOH binary mixtures. According to the extent of solvent-solvent interaction, different solvation phenomena were found. PS concept was applied to explain the reactivity of tert-butyl halides solvolysis. The findings of solvation phenomena have been related to the rate of solvolysis and PS suggested as a reason for the solvent dependence of the rates of reaction. Moreover, we found that the results of principal components analysis using six parameters are in good accordance with the results of PS phenomena in mixed methanol systems.

  • The fluorescence properties and photoisomerization behavior of 1-(9-anthryl)-2-(2-quinolinyl)ethene (2-AQE) have been investigated in various solvents. Instead of phenyl ring in 1-(9-anthryl)-2-phenylethene, the intro-duction of quinoline ring reduces not only the fluorescence yield but also the photoisomerization yield, due to competition of efficient radiationless deactivation and an increase in the torsional barrier for twisting in the singlet manifold. The S1 decay parameters were found to be solvent-dependent due to the charge-transfer character of lowest S1 state. Polar solvents reduce the activation barrier to twisting, thus slight enhancing the isomerization of t-2-AQE in the singlet manifold. As solvent polarity is increased, Φf of c-2-AQE is greatly reduced, but Φc →t is practically independent of solvent polarity. Dual fluorescence in t-2-AQE was observed and two fluorescing species could be assigned t-2-AQE and c-2-AQE, where the ratio between two species was dependent on the solvent polarity. Interestingly, in the concentration above 1×10 -4 M, the shapes of the fluorescence excitation spectra of t- and c-2-AQE are significantly altered without spectral changes of their fluorescence and absorption, probably due to the formation of excimer.

  • Solvent effects on the reactions of DANSYL and BANSYL chlorides with substituted pyridines have been investigated using two parameters of Taft's solvatochromic correlation and four parameters of Kirkwood-Onsager, Parker, Marcus, Hildebrand equation. The acetonitrile molecules accelerate charge separation of the reactants and stabilize the transition state. The coefficient of the solvent parameters provide a good information to predict and to analyze the reaction mechanism. The nucleophilic substitution reaction of DANSYL and BANSYL chlorides with substituted pyridines are ruled by the contribution of the change in dipole moment term and polarity-polarizability term.

  • We have measured ${\pi}^*$, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ polarity parameters of 2-propanol / hexane and ethyl acetate / hexane mixed solvents over the entire range of composition. For the ethyl acetate / hexane system, only ${\pi}^*$ and $\beta$ were measured since $\alpha$ of these mixed solvents are defined zero. We have corrected the measured polarity parameters to obtain consistent data with the existing literature data assuming a good linear correlation between the measured and the true values. The variation patterns are consistent with the expected trends based on the chemistry of the solvent components. The general trends of the two solvent systems are summarized as follows. ${\pi}^*$ merely increases as the content of the more polar solvent increases while $\alpha$ and $\beta$ increase with the increase of the content of the more polar solvent, then decrease upon continuing addition of the more polar solvent.

  • Solvatochromic comparison methods were applied to determine Taft's solvent parameters, ${\pi}^{\ast}$(solvent polarity-polarizability), ${\alpha}$(solvent hydrogen bond donor acidity) and ${\beta}$ (solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicity) for MeOH-MeCN solvent mixtures. Swain's solvent parameters A(anion solvation scale) and B(cation solvation scale) were also determined by least square fitting of kinetic data in the same binary solvent mixtures. It was found that: (i)${\beta}$ depends on the basicity of the solvent and increases with the MeOH content owing to the increase in polymeric structure of methanol; (ii) ${\pi}^{\ast}$depends on the dipole moment of the solvent and increases with the MeCN content of the solvent; (iii) ${\alpha}$ increases rapidly with the MeOH content as the hydrogen bond donor acidity of the solvent mixtures increases. Taft's reaction constants a and s and Swain's reaction constants a and b were determined for the reactions reported from our laboratory previously using solvent parameters determined in this work. No meaningful inter-relationship was found between the two set of reaction parameters, but a good linear correlation was found between the ratios a/s and a/b. Solvent effect on the reaction mechanism, substituent effect and leaving group ability were examined in the light of these reaction constants ratios.

  • We have investigated the solvent effects on $\Delta log\;K_s $(the difference of stability constant of binding) and the different free energies of binding of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6, i.e., the selectivity of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6 using a Monte Carlo simulation of statistical perturbation theory (SPT) in diverse solvents. The stability constant ($\Delta log\;K_s $) of binding of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6, in $CH_3OH$ was calculated in this study as -1.06 agrees well with the different experimental results of -0.44~-0.6, respectively. We have reported here the quantitative solvent-polarity relationships (QSPR) studied on the solvent effects the relative free energies of binding of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6. From the calculated coefficients of QSPR, we have noted that solvent polarity (ET) and Kamlet -Tafts solvatochromic parameters (b ) dominate the differences in relative solvation Gibbs free energies of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions but basicity (Bj) dominates the negative values in differences in the stability constant ($\Delta log\;K_s $) as well as the relative free energies of binding of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6 and acidity (Aj) dominates the positive values in differences in the stability constant ($\Delta log\;K_s $) as well as the relative free energies of binding of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6.

  • Solubilities of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in aqueous surfactant solutions, liquid polyethylene glycols (PEG), and solvents of various polarity were measured. The results showed that the solutes were slightly or moderately solubilized in the surfactant solutions and the liquid PEGS. It was also revealed that the solutes were slightly soluble in the solvent of either extreme polarity or nonpolarity, but moderately soluble in solvents of intermediate polarity of which solubility parameters are around 10. The solubility parameters of these solutes were calculated from the group contribution to be 10.2 for both of them. Of the solvents tested, tetramethylurea was exceptionally effective in solubilizing the solutes. The solutes were also moderately soluble in the aqueous cosolvents containing tetramethylurea. This suggests that the mixed systems of tetramethylurea could be employed for the solubilization in the formulation of these compounds as an aqueous system.

  • Solvatochromic effect and hydrogen bonding interaction of NPNOH, NPNO- and NPNOR were investigated. Electronic transition energies of the dyes were plotted against empirical solvent polarity parameters, Taft's π* and Reichardt's ET(30). Good correlations were observed when the excitation energies were plotted against the energy calculated by multiple linear regression method which was developed by Taft. There is an intrinsic difference between betaine for ET(30) polarity scale and the azoderivative, which is derived from the specific hydrogen bond incurred with probe molecules and solvents. The hydrogen bonding plays a very important role for stabilization of an excited state molecule by solvents especially when a solute possesses a negative charge as with NPNO-.
