The membrane-intrinsic light harvesting complex from the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana, fucoxanthin chlorophyll-a/c2 protein (FCP), is characterized by Stark spectroscopy to obtain a quantitative measure of the excited-state dipolar properties of the constituent pigments. The electro-optical properties of the carotenoid fucoxanthin (Fx), the primary light harvester in FCP, were determined from the Stark spectrum measured in a MeTHF glass (77 K) and compared to the results from electronic-structure calculations. On photon absorption by Fx, a 17 D change in the static dipole moment (|Δμ⃗|exp), and a somewhat larger |Δμ⃗|exp at the red edge, are measured for the S0 → S2 transition. The significant change in dipolar properties demonstrates that Fx undergoes photoinduced charge transfer (CT), and underscores the influence of the S2 state on the polarity-dependent excited-state dynamics of Fx that has so far been attributed to, and discussed in terms of, the S0 and the S1/ICT states. MNDO-PSDCI and SACCI-CISD calculations indicate that the -like state intrinsically possesses a dipole moment much smaller than the -like state, suggesting that solvent fields promote the mixing of these two states and accounts for the large dipole moments measured here for the S0 → S2 transition. These CT properties of the -like state of Fx, which are further enhanced in the protein, underpin its photosynthetic capabilities for light harvesting and energy transfer (ET). In FCP, the CT properties of the Fx’s vary according to the energetic position: between 450 and 500 nm there appear to be two sets of Fx’s that exhibit |Δμ⃗|exp values on the order of 5 and 15 D, whereas the red-most Fx’s, that are very efficient in ET to chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), exhibit strikingly large |Δμ⃗|exp values on the order of 40 D. Such magnitudes of |ΔΔμ⃗|exp suggest a mechanism to enhance Coulombic coupling to promote ET from the S2 state of Fx to Chl-a. These three sets of Fx’s, including a fourth red Fx, are identified by modeling the Stark spectrum of FCP using the Stark spectrum of Fx in MeTHF. In contrast to the Fx’s in the protein, the electrostatic properties of the Chl’s in FCP are comparatively much smaller. For the Qy band of Chl-a, a |Δμ⃗|exp of 0.92 D and a change in polarizability of 20 Å3, indicate that the Chl-a’s are monomeric in nature and decoupled from each other.
