67. e(DCS) = 21 D finds support in the fact that the value (25 D) obtained for 4-dimethylamino-4′-nitrostilbene (DNS) by using the same electrochromic method (Ref. [3c]) is in good agreement with the more recent result (24 D) of time-resolved microwave conductivity experiments (Ref. [44]). Solvatochromic measurements with DNS suffer from the necessary spectral correction of its strongly red-shifted fluorescence spectra.
