Abstract

Quinones are molecules with varied biological activities and electronic properties which are used for important applications [1, 2]. Quinone with a heteroatom substituted, namely 2-chloro-3-ethylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone (N-CAN) was synthesized and characterized by various techniques such as H1-NMR, C13-NMR, Mass spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy. In this study, the solvatochromic effects on the spectral properties of 2-chloro-3-ethylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone have been investigated in different solvents taking into consideration, the solvent parameters like dielectric constant (ε) and refractive index (η) of different solvent polarities. Using Lippert-Mataga, Bakshiev’s, Kawski-Chamma-Viallet and Reichardt equations, the ground state (μg) and excited state (μe) dipole moments were calculated. The angle between the excited state and ground state dipole moments were also calculated.
