Hi Everyone,
I working with small organic molecules that contain boron complexes. While there is almost no change in the absorption of molecules in different solvent polarities, fluorescence intensities showing a large increase in apolar solvents such as cyclohexane, with small blue shift . How can I explain these behaviors of molecules and what kind of experiments I should do.

you're solvents are probably quenching the fluorescence, if the energy of the excited electrons is being transferred instead of relaxing back as light then you would see this change in fluorescence levels.
I am not sure which experiments you could do. I would check binding interactions between the solvents and the small molecule.
