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.

## Dedicated to Professor Albert Eschenmoser on the occasion of his 75th birthday The enzymes (carotene dioxygenases, CDOs) that cleave b,b-carotene 1 to provide retinal 2 as a precursor for retinol (vitamin A) are of significance to animal and human nutrition. To date two modes of cleavage of 1
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
