Absorption, emission, and excitation spectra of 1, 3, 5, 7-octatetraene, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9-decapentaene, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11-dodecahexaene have been obtained in room temperature solutions and 77 K glasses. All spectra exhibit the characteristic gap between the origin of the strongly allowed absorption ('Ag-*'Bu) and the origin of fluorescence ('Ag*-* 1 Ag). Comparison with results previously obtained for methyl-substituted polyenes shows that the'Bu-'Ag* energy gap is a sensitive functionof the degree of substitution. Solvent-effectstudies have been used to extrapolate transition energies of the unsubstituted polyenes to gas-phase conditions. For the tetraene, pentaene, and hexaene the'Bu-1 Ag* energy differences are 6380, 7050, and 7420 cm-1, respectively. These results are discussed in terms of current theoretical descriptions of polyene electronic states.
