Jw. Zhou et al., UV-VIS SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE SOLVATOCHROMISM AND CHELATING REACTION OF A BENZOTHIAZOLINE MEROCYANINE IN MIXED-SOLVENTS, Journal of solution chemistry, 24(9), 1995, pp. 925-933
Solvatochromism and chelating reaction of a benzothiazoline merocyanin
e are studied by UV-VIS spectra in DMF-H2O, DMF-1,4-dioxane and DMSO-1
,4-dioxane. The effect of solvent polarity on UV-VIS absorption maxima
and on equlibrium constant K of the chelating reaction is discussed.
A linear correlation is obtained between lnK and E(T).
