“1BU” excited state of all-trans-retinal (ATR) were measured inpoly (methyl methacrylate)(PMM) films. The long-axis polarizability increases by 600±100Á3 and the dipole moment increases by 13.2±0.6 D. These solution-phase polarizabilities and dipole moments were converted to gas-phase values by using an ellipsoidal cavity reaction field model. The increases in long-axis polarizability upon electronic excitation in the gas phase are 80±10 A3 for DPB, 127 db 6 A3 for DPH, 170±4 A3 for DPO, 210±20 A3 for DPD, and 200±20 A3 for ATR. Because theexcited-state polarizability of retinal is so large, the conversion of its solution-phase, excited-state dipole moment (19.8±0.7 D) to a gas-phase value (7±1 D) involves an unusually large reaction field factor. The relation of these results to proposed mechanisms for regulation of the absorption maximum in visual pigments and bacteriorhodopsin is
