近來正在投稿JPCA，遇到一個審稿人提的問題我實在不知道怎麼回答比較好，希望能尋求各位的協助， 該審稿人提的問題如下:
d. p. 14, lines 15-17, first column. The authors conflate polarizability and dipole moment. They may mean that the solvent is polarized more in the excited state due to the large dipole, but this should be clarified.
我在這篇文章裡面給了溶質分子在不同溶劑下的dipole moment，
目前只有給出溶質分子的結果， 都是激發態的dipole moment 比基態要來得高 ，但審稿人似乎希望我去證明溶劑極化更強，(因為 我不知道他的意思是不是想要我再另外提供數據支持這個說法) 請問我該朝什麼方向作 來回答他這個問題比較好呢?
我: Table S5 (Supplementary material) displays
the dipole moment in both the S0 and S1 states in
the left column, which shows that the dipole moment
increased from the S0 to the S1 state by approximately
0.9 D. This increase in dipole moment
indicates that the polarizability of CZ was higher
in the S1 state than in the S0 state.
審稿人: d. p. 14, lines 15-17, first column. The authors conflate polarizability and dipole moment. They may mean that the solvent is polarized more in the excited state due to the large dipole, but this should be clarified.
另外關於1. 我的想法， 來自於這篇文章他們所提到的:
(E. García-Fernández et al. / Spectrochimica Acta Part A 84 (2011) 130– 136)
P. 134
"as the solvent polarity increases, a progressive
red shift and a loss of the vibronic structure of the absorption and
fluorescence spectra are observed. These changes are much more
pronounced in the emission than in the absorption spectra."
