Absorption and fluorescence spectra of all-trans isomers of decatetraene, dodecapentaene, tetradecahexaene, and hexadecaheptaene in room temperature EPA (5/5/2, ether/isopentane/ethanol, v/v/v). Fluorescence spectra were obtained by exciting decatetraene and tetradecahexaene into their S0 (11Ag–) → S2 (11Bu+) (0–0) absorption bands (decatetraene, 309 nm; tetradecahexaene, 370 nm), and dodecapentaene and hexadecaheptaene into their S0 (11Ag–) → S2 (11Bu+) (0–1) absorption bands (dodecapentaene, 325 nm; hexadecaheptaene, 373 nm). Emission band passes were 1 nm for all spectra. Absorption and fluorescence spectra are normalized to their maximum values.
