Abstract

Abstract Transient Raman spectra of all-trans- and 9-cis-retina1 in the excited triplet state have been obtained using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. It has been found that the triplet Raman spectra of these two isomers are identical within the limit of experimental uncertainty suggesting the same triplet state in all-trans- and 9-cis-retinal.
