Electronic Absorption
This chapter begins with a discussion of how the oscillating electric field of light can raise a molecule to an excited electronic state. We then... -
Vibrational Absorption
Excitations of molecules to higher vibrational states typically occur in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum between 200 and 5, 000 cm−1(λ = 2.5... -
Absorption changes in Photosystem II in the Soret band region upon the formation of the chlorophyll cation radical [PD1PD2]+
Flash-induced absorption changes in the Soret region arising from the [P D1 P D2 ] + state, the chlorophyll cation radical formed upon light excitation of...
