Solvent effects on the absorption and emission spectra of novel (E)-4-((4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)diazenyl)benzyl (((9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)-d-alaninate (Fmoc-al-az): Determination of dipole moment by experimental and theoretical study
Amino acid derived azo dye derivatives are synthesized. Solvatochromic correlations are used to estimate ground (μg) and excited state (μe) dipole moments. The dipole moments are compared using experimental and DFT calculations.
