description

Abstract Refractometric, dielectric and electro-optical absorption measurements are reported for 1-dimethylamino-2,6-dicyano-4-methyl-benzene (I) and 1,4-bis(4′-dimethylamino-3′,5′-dicyanophenyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (II). The evaluation leads to dipole moments and polarizabilities of the ground state as well as the first dipole allowed singlet state. The experimental res excellently substantiate the method of electro-optical absorption measurements in solution. It is shown that the excited dimer wavefunctions of the bichromophoric molecule II localize by solvent induced local site perturbations.
