✦ Synopsis

The high resolution of resonance Raman spectra makes it possible to solve the inverse problem of vrbronic spectroscopy, i.e. to determine changes in molecular geometry on electronic excitation. The solution for p-carotene is characterized by significant variation in the changes of bond length along the conjugated chain and by non-trivial changes of the CCC and CCH ar&es.
