“…One of the most suitable and commonly used dyes is 4-(2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium-1-yl)-2,6-diphenylphenolate, known as the standard solvatochromic Reichardt's dye (RD). The information about the polarity of the medium is obtained from the spectrum of the dye dissolved in it, because this spectrum strongly depends on the dielectric constant and hydrogen bonds donating ability of the microenvironment of the dye molecule and, especially, its O atom that is a single hydrogen bonds acceptor in the molecule [1][2][3]. Consequently, the polarity parameter of the medium, which is denoted E T (30), is calculated from the wavelength of the maximum in the visible portion of the spectrum, max However, the treatment of polarity parameters of colloid solutions is complicated by the highly inhomogeneous character of the dye molecule microenvironment.…”
