Resonance Raman spectra for j?-carotene in carbon disulphide at room temperature have been measured. The experimental absorption spectrum and excitation profiles were analysed using a three-dimensional model involving several molecular parameters related to the excited state's structure. These parameters are quite different from those reported previously in the literature. A possible explanation for this disaepancy is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
