Abstract

Abstract The basic electronic quantities of some dichroic dyes, naphthalene derivatives of bicarboxylic acid, have been evaluated theoretically using a semi-empirical INDO (intermediate neglect of differential overlap) Cl (configuration interaction) approach. The theoretical data have been com­ pared with the experimental results obtained from the absorption and fluorescence measurements of the dyes dissolved in toluene and oriented in liquid crystal 8CB. Additionally, the order parame­ ters of the dyes in smectic A and nematic phases of 8CB have been determined.
