Abstract

A reversal in solvatochromic behaviour was observed in second and third generation glycerol based dansylated polyether dendrons in water on addition of a second solvent like methanol or acetonitrile. Below a certain percentage of the nonaqueous solvent there is a negative-solvatochromism observed and above that there is a switch to positive-solvatochromism. The negative-solvatochromism is attributed to the progressive disaggregation of the dendron aggregates by the nonaqueous solvent component. Once the disaggregation process is complete, positive-solvatochromism is exhibited by the dendron monomers. Higher the hydrophobicity of the dendron more is the amount of the second solvent required for disaggregation.
