Abstract
The solvatochromic behavior of 3-pyrazolyl 2-pyrazoline derivative (PYZ), a newly synthesized molecular probe having pharmaceutical importance, has been studied in various solvents of different polarity. The Kamlet and Taft solvatochromic comparison method was utilized to rationalize the solute-solvent interactions from absorption and emission measurements. Spectroscopic studies reveal that the solvatochromic behavior of the dye depends not only on the polarity of the medium but also on the hydrogen-bonding properties of the solvents. The non-radiative relaxation process is facilitated by an increase in the polarity of the media. The photophysical response of PYZ in different solvents has been explained considering solute-solvent interactions.
