Solvents and Solvent Effects in Organic Chemistry
Christian Reichardt, VCH Verlag, 2nd ed., 1990.
The best book on the market. Many references. Wonderful detail. I used
this book for most examples discussed in the lecture.

A very detailed study using Reichardt's and Kamlet-Taft solvent polarity
parameters. The key issue in this paper concerns the solvent dependence
of the s-cis and s-trans equilibrium (p. 1724). This conformaton changes
the molecule dipole moment and the solvatochromism parallels the magnitude
of the dipole moment.
