M. Pawlikowski et B. Rys, SOLVENT EFFECTS IN CD SPECTRA OF MOLECULES CONSISTING OF 2 IDENTICAL CHROMOPHORES, Chemical physics, 202(1), 1996, pp. 149-154
The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the hyl-9,10,21,22-tetrahydro-7
H,12H,19H,24H-dinaphtho [1.8-f,g:1'.8'-o,p] tetraoxacyclooctadecin mol
ecule is studied in terms of a dimer model which includes the intersta
te mixing of the chromophore (naphthalene) electronic states. The expe
rimental CD spectrum corresponding to the (1)L(a) state of naphthalene
shows a strong solvent effect when going from isooctane solvent to ac
etonitrile solvent. This effect is studied and explained as a result o
f changes in the interstate mixing effect.
