Abstract(2E)-1-(2,5-dimethylfuran-3-yl)-3-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (DEPO) was prepared by the reaction of 9-ethyl-9H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde with 1-(2,5-dimethylfuran-3-yl)ethanone under microwave irradiation. The structure of DEPO was established experimentally by EI-MS, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectral studies. Electronic absorption and emission spectra of DEPO were studied in different solvents on the basis of polarities, and the obtain data were used to determine the solvatochromic properties such as extinction coefficient, oscillator strength, transition dipole moment, stokes shift, fluorescence quantum yield and photochemical quantum yield. Photochemical quantum yield (Φc) of DEPO dye was determined in different solvent. The dye comparatively photostable in DMSO but undergoes photodecomposition in chloro methane solvents. The DEPO dye may be use as probe or quencher to determine critical micelle concentration (CMC) of cetyltri methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).
