76. Strickler, S. J.; Berg, R. A. J. Chem. Phys. 1962, 37, 814; In this paper, the authors highlight that the formula would not give good approximations if the transitions are weak (ε < 8000) and there are specific solvent interactions. These limitations apply to the systems given their low extinction coefficients for CT transitions and π-π effects with toluene
