Temperature dependencies （81 ℃- 18 ℃） of visible absorption and Raman spectra of all-trans-β-carotene and all-trans-retinol extremely diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide are investigated in order to clarify temperature...Temperature dependencies （81 ℃- 18 ℃） of visible absorption and Raman spectra of all-trans-β-carotene and all-trans-retinol extremely diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide are investigated in order to clarify temperature effects on different polyenes. Their absorption spectra are identified to be redshifted with temperature decreasing. Moreover, all-trans-β-carotene is more sensitive to temperature due to the presence of a longer length of conjugated system. The characteristic energy responsible for the conformational changes in all-trans-β-carotene is smaller than that in all-transretinol. Both of the Raman scattering cross sections increase with temperature decreasing. The results are explained with electron-phonon coupling theory and coherent weakly damped electron-lattice vibrations model.展开更多
