✦ Synopsis
The eIectronic structure of @carotene crystal has been investigated by classical and double beam photoemission. Data give evidence for a fundamental semiconducting band gap of 0.8 k 0.2 eV, separating a 1.3 f 0.2 eV wide valence band from the conduction band.

The resonance Raman spectra of P-carotene have been obtained at low temperature. The excitation profiles of vl(1525 cm-') and 2vl (3043 cm-') are analysed in terms of the Albrccht theory. The overlap integrals between the vibrational wavefunctions of the ground and the fist exited electronic states
The synthesis of 10,lO' 19,19 , 19,19' , 19' 19'-2H8p-carotene is described. The double condensation (C15+C o+C15=C40) of the Wittig salt of 9 , 9 , 9 , 10-2H4-pionyliaene ethanol with the symmetrical Cl0 dial 2,7- dimethyl-2 , 4 , 6-octatrienedial led directly to 2H -pcarotene. The symmetrical labe
