Abstract The electric dipole moments in the ground μg, and excited states μe of the fluorescent probes BADAN (6-bromoacetyl-2-dimethylamino-naphthalene) and ACRYLODAN (6-acrylolyl-2-dimethylamino-naphthalene) are determined from the solvatochromic shifts of their absorption and fluorescence spec­tra for two Onsager interaction radii (a = 4.2 and 4.6 Å). The obtained values of μg and μe for BADAN are comparable to those of PRODAN, while for ACRYLODAN they are distinctly greater.

Electric field induced changes in the optical absorption spectra (electrochromism) have been used to obtain the excited state dipole moments and polarizabilities of styrene, 2-vinylnaphthalene, 2-naphthylacetylene, and 9-vinylanthracene. Excited state dipole moments of the order of 4–6 debye have been obtained for all these molecules except for 9-vinylanthracene, for which the excited state dipole moment is zero within experimental error. These results support earlier proposals of the involvement of charge transfer excited states in the fast and efficient acid-catalysed photohydration reactions of this type of substrate. 9-Vinylanthracene, on the other hand, under similar conditions reacts differently to give a dimer as the major photoproduct, and its reaction is not subject to acid catalysis. These results shed light on the importance of charge transfer excited states on the efficiency of photohydration reactions. Keywords: electrochromism, excited state, dipole moments, polarizabilities.

Planar and conformationally twisted p-nitroaniline (PNA) and N,N-dimethyl-p-nitroaniline (DMPNA) systems have been subjected to electric field study (electrochromism) to understand their charge transfer characteristics in the ground and excited states. The observed values of ground and excited state dipole moments suggest that twisting of either the donor (D) with respect to the acceptor (A) or vice versa can have a large impact on the resultant charge distribution, particularly on the excited state charge distribution. These observations remarkably support the TICT hypothesis and minimum overlap rule, as proposed by Grabowski et al. Simple molecular orbital calculations provide adequate explanation for the observed changes in the dipole moment and reasonable agreement has been found in each case studied. Key words: electrochromism, dipole moments, charge transfer.
