The detection of a new transient species in photoirradiated natural [bovine eye] and synthetic melanins is reported. This species decays rapidly at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures and has an ESR spectrum whose time-profile reveals spin polarization effects (chemically induced dynamic electron polarization) characteristic of triplet state involvement. A possible mechanism for light absorption and degradation by melanins is suggested.
