Question

There are analogies that can be drawn between the Frank Condon principle and solvation. If a chromophore is solvated it will interact with the solvent molecules particularly if the chromophore and solvent are polar.

a) describe the types of interactions that occur in solvation.

b) are these (a) stabilizing or destabilizing interactions? Explain

c) Franck–Condon principles can be applied when the interactions between the chromophore and the surrounding solvent molecules are different in the ground and in the excited electronic state. Thinking about dipole moments speculate as to how the FC principle could be used to describe the interaction in these two states.

Explanation / Answer

a) Electrostatic force: association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute

b) Stabilizing force because it is surrounded by solvent molecules that interact with ion

c) Can be aplied
