A new method for estimating excited state dipole moments of molecules from the solvent effect on their electronic spectra

Abstract Some comments are made on the paper entitled “Excited state dipole moments of some monosubstituted benzenes from the solvent effect on electronic absorption spectra” by Prabhumirashi et al . ( Spectrochim. Acta 39A , 663,1983) and a new method, which has been tested on some molecules and found satisfactory, is suggested for estimating the excited state dipole moment of molecules from the solvent effect on their electronic spectra.
