40. Formally, what is measured in these experiments is actually the difference between the excited- and ground-state dipole (polarizability). For simplicity in discussion, we refer to this value as the excited-state dipole (polarizability). This is a reasonable assertion because, to a first approximation, any structural (ground-state) dipole (polarizability) should be relatively unaffected by the presence of a delocalized excitation.
