This review presents the recent advances in solvatochromism and its practical applications
over the last twelve years. It highlights the significance and broad impact of solvent effects …

We synthesized blue fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CDs) by the solvothermal strategy
using 2, 5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid as the precursor. The as-prepared CD surfaces …

We present a combined theoretical and experimental study on the UV-vis spectra of enol–
keto (EK) and keto–keto (KK) tautomeric forms of curcumin dissolved in aqueous solution …

In this investigation, we report the first hyperpolarizabilities and two-photon absorption cross
sections of a large series of 12 push–pull cationic chromophores. All of these dyes show a …

The fully polarizable Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) approach based
on fluctuating charges and fluctuating dipoles, named QM/FQFμ [T. Giovannini et al., J …

Following recent developments in multilevel embedding methods, we introduce a novel
density matrix-based multilevel approach within the framework of density functional theory …

We present a computational study on the spectroscopic properties of UV‐Vis absorbing dyes
in water solution. We model the solvation environment by using both continuum and discrete …

A new eight-membered centrosymmetric ferrocenyl borasiloxane FcBSi (1) and its pyridine
adduct FcBSiPy (2) were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Further, the …

Six water-soluble bications, characterized by a symmetric A+-π-D-π-A+ structure, were
synthesized and comprehensively studied for their absorption and fluorescence properties …

To shed the light about the effect of the linkers of the small organic molecules on their optical
properties, we examine herein the linear, and nonlinear optical properties of the two easy …
