Solvatochromism is a phenomenon where the color of a substance changes in response to different solvent environments. This effect is typically observed in certain molecules, especially those that have electronic transitions sensitive to the polarity or dielectric properties of the solvent. In solvatochromic compounds, the wavelength of absorption or emission shifts depending on the solvent's properties, which can include polarity, hydrogen bonding capability, and the presence of specific functional groups.
