Solvent effect on absorption and fluorescence spectra of three biologically active carboxamides (C1, C2 and C3). Estimation of ground and excited state dipole moment from solvatochromic method using solvent polarity parameters

摘要

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of three Carboxamides namely (E)-2-(4-Chlorobenzylideneamino)- N-(2-chlorophenyl)-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene- 3-carboxamide (c1), (E)-N-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(3, 4- dimethoxybenzylideneamino)-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrobenzo[b] thiophene-3-carboxamide (c_2) and (E)-N-(3-Chlorophenyl)- 2-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzylideneamino)-4, 5, 6, 7- tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxamide (c_3) have been recorded at room temperature in solvents of different polarities using dielectric constant (ε) and refractive index (n). Experimental ground (μ_g) and excited (μ_e) state dipole moments are estimated by means of solvatochromic shift method and also the excited dipole moments are estimated in combination with ground state dipole moments. It was estimated that dipole moments of the excited state were higher than those of the ground state of all three molecules. Further, the changes in dipole moment (Δμ) were calculated both from solvatochromic shift method and on the basis of microscopic empirical solvent polarity parameter (E~N_T) and the values are compared.
