A spectral investigation of the thermochromic behavior of Reichardt's E(T)(30) betaine in aqueous solutions of block copolymers ("poloxamers") P407, P237 and P105 was carried out as a function of temperature and concentration. The betaine microenvironment at various stages of the micellization process in these systems was mimicked with the aid of molecular dynamics simulations of model systems. These consisted of the E(T)(30) probe in boxes of water molecules, in the presence of an isolated block copolymer of formula (PEO)(11)-(PPO)(16)-(PEO)(11), and of a micelle formed of 50 of these unimers.

Betaine-30 (B30) was reported by Karl Dimroth and Christian Reichardt et al. in 1963 as a solvatochromic probe that can be easily synthesized, shows good solubility, and remains stable in various organic solvents and solutions. Its strongly negatively solvatochromic behavior arises from differential solvation between its electronic ground and excited states, making it a valuable tool for assessing solvent polarity using the (30) polarity scale, also devised by Dimroth and Reichardt.

Today, the hydrogen bonding donation (HBD) ability parameter of new solvents, α, is generally determined either by the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic comparison of two probes, Reichardt betaine dye B(30) and 4-nitroanisole, or by the measurement of a single probe (e.g., solvatochromism of an iron coordination complex).

Reichardt's empirical ET(30) polarity parameter has been established as appropriate polarity scale for ionic liquids. In this study, the relationships of ET(30) of ionic liquids with the empirical Kamlet-Taft polarity parameters α (hydrogen bond donating ability), β (hydrogen bond accepting ability) and π* (dipolarity/polarizability) as well as Catalán's parameter set SA (solvent acidity), SB (solvent basicity), SP (solvent polarizability) and SdP (solvent dipolarity) are examined by means of multiple square correlation analyses. Several subtasks were carried out to address this main concern.

Chromogenic salts based on the negatively solvatochromic pyridinium N-phenolate betaines 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-N-pyridino)-phenolate (Reichardt's dye 30) and 2,6-dichloro-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-N-pyridino)-phenolate (Reichardt's dye 33) proved to be promising probes for the colorimetric detection of bases, including hydroxide ion, ammonia, and aliphatic amines. Specifically, the protonated halide forms of these two dyes were ion exchanged to generate lipophilic bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide derivatives, denoted [E(30)][TfN] and [E(33)][TfN], respectively. When dissolved in 95 vol% EtOH, these essentially colorless solutions displayed dramatic "alkalinochromic" color-on switching due to phenolic deprotonation to generate the zwitterionic form of the dyes with their characteristic charge-transfer absorption.

A fully polarizable implementation of the hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics approach is presented, where the classical environment is described through the AMOEBA polarizable force field. A variational formalism, offering a self-consistent relaxation of both the MM induced dipoles and the QM electronic density, is used for ground state energies and extended to electronic excitations in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory combined with a state specific response of the classical part. An application to the calculation of the solvatochromism of the pyridinium N-phenolate betaine dye used to define the solvent ET(30) scale is presented.
