On the solvatochromism of the n ↔ π* electronic transitions in ketones
Literature Information
Juan Pablo Catalán
The solvatochromism of the n ↔ π* electronic transitions of acetone, which is determined in this work by means of absorption and emission spectroscopy, has been studied using the pure solvent scales for polarizability, dipolarity and acidity of the medium. From these analyses, the necessary reduction of the dipole moment and the increase of the polarizability for acetone on electronic excitation are evaluated using Abe's approach (Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1966, 39, 936). The influence that the increase of the aromatic structure (cf.acetophenone) and the lengthening of the size of the alkyl substituents R– (cf. R–CO–R) cause on the solvatochromism of acetone is discussed. Also, we have shown that the photophysical model proposed by Pimentel (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1957, 79, 3323), which is widely accepted for explaining the n → π* blue shift phenomenon for hydrogen-bonded complexes, is mistaken due to ignoring the acid–base changes undergone on electronic excitation; accordingly, a new photophysical model has been proposed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
