On the solvatochromic reversal of merocyanine dyes. Part 2.1 An experimental and semi-empirical study of the solvatochromism of α- and γ-vinylogous pyridones
Abstract
The vinylogous α-pyridone
1,2-dihydro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,4-dienylidene)-4,6-
diphenylpyridine 3 was prepared and its solvatochromic behaviour in
several solvents recorded and compared to that of its γ-isomer 1.
The relative behaviour of these dyes, which differed from that of other
solvatochromic vinylogous α/γ-pyridones, could be reproduced
by a previously described theoretical model.
