## Abstract The excited‐state processes of protochlorophyllide a, the precursor of chlorophyll a in chlorophyll biosynthesis, are studied using picosecond time‐resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Following excitation into the Soret band, two distinct fluorescence components, with emission maxima at
Vibrational frequencies in excited and ionized states are ca.IcuIated for primary aromatic hydrocarbons, on the basis of MO cdcuhtions of transition energies and normal coordhate ulculations for ground state moIecuIes. Results are in good agreement with experiment-Specific activities of certain type
A theoretical study has been performed on the five lowest excited states of the ozone molecule using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). The predicted order of states is: 3A 2 (T O = 1.15 eV), 3B 2 (T O = 1.33 eV), 3B 1 (T O ---1.33 eV), 1A 2 (T O = 1.44 eV) and 1B 1 (T O
The lifetime of indole is shortened when benzene is added to a cyclohexane solution. A proposed mechanism is the formation of an exciplex through hydrogen bonding. The finding from the picosecond study presented here shows that the anomalous behavior of indole is not totally determined by the solven
