Solvatochromism elucidated : UV/Vis and electrooptical absorption spectroscopy were used to elucidate the effect of solvent on the electrical and optical properties of three merocyanine dyes. Changes in the shape of the Vis absorption band in solvents of different polarity [e.g., the depicted dye in Et 2 O (black), AcOEt (blue), and MeCN (orange)] are explained by different excited‐state dipole moments of the respective vibronic transitions.
