In this research, the ground (µg) and excited (µe) state dipole moments of metformin hydrochlorides were determined using Lippert-Mataga, Bakhshiev's, Kawski-Chamma-Viallet, and Reichardt models from fluorescence emission and UV-Vis absorption spectra in various solvents. From solvatochromic effects the calculated excited (µe) dipole moment of metformin hydrochloride were, 8.55 D, 8.34 D, 6.08 D, and 6.40 D using the Lippert-Mataga, Bakhshiev's, Kawski-Chamma-Viallet and Reichardt models respectively. The results also indicated that the dipole moment at the ground state is smaller than the excited state. This is due to solvent polarity having a stronger effect on fluorescence emission than absorption spectra. Similarly, from density functional theory, the calculated ground and excited states dipole moments of metformin hydrochloride using (DFT-B3LYP- 3-21+G*(μg = 10.02 D and μe = 11.94 D), DFT-B3LYP- 6-31+G (d, p) (μg = 8.44 D and μe = 10.87 D), and DFT-B3LYP- 6-311+G (d, p) (μg = 8.24 D and μe = 18.74 D)) analyzed by Gaussian 09W. From the optimized geometry of the molecule, the HOMO-LUMO energy band gap of metformin hydrochloride were computed using DFT [DFT-B3LYP- 3-21+G*(5.51 eV), DFT-B3LYP- 6-31+G (d, p) (5.66 eV), and DFT-B3LYP- 6-311+G (d, p) (5.70 eV)] respectively.
