Effect of solvents on dipole moment of merocyanine
Abstract
The energies of long-wave electron transitions and dipole moments of 3-ethyl-2-thio-5(3′-methyl-thiazolidyl-2′-ethylidene) oxasazolidine-2,4-diene(I) were determined in a number of solvents of different activity. Variations in both quantities correlated with one another and may be described by the relative contribution of the resonance structures.
