Quantum-mechanical study and spectral analysis on some derivatives of Rhodamine in solutions.

Rhodamine derivatives (B and 6G) are heterocyclic compounds, related to florone. They are widely used as dyes with numerous biotechnological applications. The quantum-mechanical, electro-optical and spectral properties of the isolated molecules in the ground state were determined using molecular modeling programs. The visible electronic absorption spectra of 6G and B Rhodamine were recorded in solvents with different macroscopic parameters. Dipolar moments and polarizabilities of the studied Rhodamines in the excited state were determined by solvatochromic study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
