Optimized structures of coumarin6 have been obtained in gas phase and in various solvents using DFT calculations.
Interaction of solvent molecules with coumarin6 in gas phase have been studied using DFT calculations.
Donor acceptor and HOMO-LUMO analysis of the dye is carried out for different solvents.
Solvent molecules are observed to interact with C–H bonds and O, S and N atoms of dye.
Due to hydrogen bonding and dipole–dipole interaction, frequency of certain bands is shifted in solvents.
