We present infrared and visible transient absorption measurements of the first excited singlet state (S-1 and S-1/ICT) of peridinin in methanol, isopropanol, and chloroform solution following one-photon excitation, using 490 nm light, to excite the S-2 state that populates S-1 via rapid (similar to 50 fs in methanol) internal conversion. This technique enables the study of subsequent structural dynamics in S, involved in the formation of the charge transfer state. The S, lifetime of peridinin in methanol, isopropanol, and chloroform is found to be 12, 54, and 65 ps, respectively, as determined by infrared transient absorption. We observe two formation timescales in the S-1 state. We attribute the shortest timescale to relaxation following internal conversion and the longer timescale to formation of the S-1/ICT state.
