The fluorescence and absorption spectra of two series of retinyl1 polyenes have been measured. One series consists of the retinyl–carbon moiety with different end groups, these being the alcohol, acetate, acid, oxime, and methyl‐amine. The second group comprises the trans, 11‐cis, 13‐cis, and 9‐cis stereoisomers of retinol (vitamin A). The spectra of the first series have been measured at room temperature and 77°K in both hydrocarbon and methanol solvents. The acetate and acid have also been studied as crystals. The relative shapes and the degree of overlap of the absorption and fluorescence spectra are discussed in terms of simple potential‐energy diagrams. It is shown that the bands are severely Franck–Condon forbidden on two counts; first, by virtue of the bond alternation in the ground state that leads to a gross change in geometry of the nuclear framework on excitation, and second, from steric hindrance that occurs at various points in the retinyl–carbon framework. The spectra reported here show how ...
