✦ Synopsis

We agree with Kawski and Bojarski [1] that the correct value of dipole moment can be estimated from G 2 group of solvents where there is minimal solute-solvent interaction. However, if there is an intramolecular charge transfer (e.g. in aprotic polar solvents), the emission may be quite red shifted which may affect the analysis. In
