Research indicates that the zwitterionic structure is the major contributor to resonance hybrid when the compound exists in polar solvents such as water, and the neutral form when it exists in nonpolar solvents such as chloroform.[2]Solvatochromic effects[edit]When MOED is dissolved in various liquids, its colour will vary, depending on the solvent and its polarity. In general, the more polar the solvent, the shorter the wavelengths of the light absorbed will be, this is referred to as a hypsochromic shift. When light of a certain colour (wavelength) is absorbed, the solution will appear in the complementary colour of the one absorbed. Therefore, in water, a highly polar solvent, MOED appears yellow (corresponding to absorbed blue light of wavelengths 435\u2013480\u00a0nm), but is purple or blue (corresponding to absorbed green to yellow light of wavelengths 560\u2013595\u00a0nm) in acetone, a less polar solvent.The effect stems in part from the stabilization of the ground state of the merocyanine molecule in polar solvents, which increases the energy gap between the ground state and excited states, which corresponds to shorter wavelengths (increased energy) of the absorbed light. Similarly, protic and aprotic solvents also affect MOED in solution differently. Solvents that are hydrogen donors (i.e. water, acids), will affect the visible absorption spectra by engaging in hydrogen bonding or donating the hydrogen outright, making the molecule favor the zwitterionic resonance form; an example of this may be seen in the picture where acetic acid, though less polar than water, was able to produce a more yellow solution.Colors of MOED Solutions in Various Solvents[3]SolventColor\u03bb(max, nm)Relative solvent polarity[4]WaterYellow4421MethanolRed-orange5090.762EthanolRed5100.6542-PropanolViolet5450.546DMSOBlue-violet5720.444AcetoneBlue-violet5770.355PyridineBlue6030.302ChloroformBlue618[5]0.259Because of its solvatochromic properties MOED, and solvatochromic dyes in general, are useful as solvent polarity indicators, and for creating solutions that absorb light at a specific frequency. Additional potential areas of use include pH sensors and transition metal cation indicators. Further uses of MOED includes the production of certain photosensitive materials. Research into merocyanine dyes is ongoing.[6]Synthesis[edit]Brooker’s merocyanine can be prepared beginning with the methylation of 4-methylpyridine to produce 1,4-dimethylpyridinium iodide. Base catalyzed reaction with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and subsequent intramolecular dehydration provides Brooker’s merocyanine.
