The electronic spectroscopy and excited-state dynamics of linear polyenes continue to be topics of considerable interest. Recent experiments range from time-resolved studies of cis-trans isomerization in substituted butadienes, 1 to transient Raman spec-troscopy of carotenoids bound to membranes of photosynthetic bacteria, 1 2 to investigations of the electronic properties of poly-acetylenes. 3 These studies encompass a wide range of experimental techniques and theoretical models, and it is not surprising that the relationshipsbetween polyenes of different conjugated lengths largely remain unexplored. A common understanding of linearly conjugatedsystems remains a goal of active interest. This investigation contributes toward this effort by establishing links between the electronic properties of short, model polyenes and the carotenoids, which play important roles in photobiology. A brief review of previous work on polyenes establishes several distinct areas of interest. Spectroscopic and kinetic investigations of short diphenylpolyenes (from stilbene to diphenyl-
