Spectrofluorometric investigations on the solvent effects on the photocyclization reaction of diclofenac by Abdulilah Dawoud, Bani-Yaseen

“…The spectral information obtained for the photochemical reaction of DCF in a set of neat solvents demonstrates that the photoconversion reaction rate of DCF is not only medium polarity dependent but also hydrogen-bonding dependent. The solvent effects were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed employing various solvatochromic models, including multi-parameter linear regression analysis (MLRA). …”
