Abstract
In this present work, we have determined the ground and excited state dipole moments of two Rhodamine dyes with similar molecular skeleton and having different functional groups, namely Rhodamine 560 chloride (R560) and Rhodamine 610 Chloride (R610). Absorption and emission spectra of R560 and R610 were recorded in binary mixtures of DMSO-Water and 2 Propanol-Water at varying compositions. The two probes exhibit hypochromic / bathochromic shift in absorption and fluorescence spectra for different compositions of aqueous organic solvents. This shift arises mainly because of polarity of the solvent. By employing solvatochromic shift method we have determined the ground and excited state dipole moments. The experimentally obtained results suggest that the excited state dipole moments of two probes are much higher than their ground state dipole moments.
