Exploring solvatochromism: a comprehensive analysis of research data of the solvent -solute interactions of 4-nitro-2-cyano-azo benzene-meta toluidine.

This study investigates the solvatochromic behavior of a new D1 disperse dye, focusing on the 4-nitro-2-cyano-azo-Benzene-metaToluidine type. Using UV-visible spectroscopy, we analyze the dye's performance in single solvents and binary mixtures. Our analysis includes the evaluation of solvent polarity parameters and dye structure parameters, with emphasis on the longest wavelength intramolecular charge transfer absorption band. We identify nonlinear and linear patterns in the electronic transition energies plots with respect to solvent composition. Statistical analysis considers correlation coefficients, root mean squared error, mean absolute percentage error, and other parameters, providing insights into data accuracy and precision. This experimental and statistical study explores the absorption spectrum, wavelength characteristics, absorption energy, and polarity of a novel azo dye across various solvent and solute environments. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the dye's photophysical and photochemical properties, potentially enabling applications in optical sensors and advanced materials.
