Abstract
AbstractIn this paper we give an account of our studies of the excited triplet states of the biological polyenes all‐trans‐retinal, all‐trans‐β‐carotene and canthaxanthin by time‐resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. The spectra indicate increased π‐electron delocalisation and twisting of inner double bonds of these molecules in their relaxed triplet states. The results on canthaxanthin, which are discussed in length, indicate an additional isomerisation equilibrium involving the cyclic end groups.
