Abstract
It is proposed to use the method of selective fluorescence excitation to find absorption spectra (fluorescence excitation spectra) of 1 : 1 primary solvated complexes between polar molecules of an organic dye and the active component of a binary solvent, whose neutral component is a nonpolar or low-polarity liquid. The technique was tested with diluted solutions of 4-dimethylaminochalcone (4-DMC) in mixtures of ethylbenzene with dimethyl formamide at extremely low contents of the latter. It is shown that the experimental absolute shift of the long-wavelength vibronic absorption band of three-component DMC solutions is in a good quantitative agreement with the analogous shift obtained independently based on the semi-empirical theory describing the joint effect of nonlinear (complexation) and linear (solvation) dipole-dipole interactions on the shift of spectral bands.
