Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

Monochromatic photoexcitation and selective registration in bands of purely electronic S1↔S0 transitions resulted in fine fluorescence and absorption (fluorescence excitation) spectra of hypericin in polyvinylbutyral at a temperature of 4.2 K. Vibration analysis of the spectra is done and conclusions are made about the form of many normal vibrations. It is found that the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the hypericin structure has a substantial effect on the relative position of the electronic vibrational levels of the pigment molecule.
