title: Preferential solvation studies of 1, 5-diaminoanthraquinone in binary liquid mixtures.
abstract: The absorption and fluorescence spectra of 1,5-diaminoanthraquinone(1,5-DAAQ) have been investigated in organic solvents-Benzene(BZ), Ethanol (ETOH), Acetonitrile (AN), Dimethylformamide (DMF) and Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). There is an intra molecular hydrogen bond formed between quinoid oxygen and the substituents NH(2) [C = O...H-N]. The interaction of the hydrogen atom of - NH(2) leads to red shift in both absorption and fluorescence spectra. The dipole moment ratio of 1,5 DAAQ in ground and excited states was calculated from stokes shift obtained from optical absorption and fluorescence spectra. Photo physical properties of 1,5-DAAQ dye was studied using this absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques in binary liquid mixtures(AN + DMF, AN + DMSO, AN + ETOH and BZ + ETOH).
