(a) Absorption red-shift of a typical linear carotenoid (lycopene) in solvents with different polarizability. (b) ν1 Raman band shift of lycopene in solvents with different polarizability. (c) Correlation between the S0 → S2 electronic transition and solvent polarizability for β-carotene, lycopene and spheroidene. (d) Correlation between the ν1 band position and solvent polarizability for β-carotene, lycopene and spheroidene [75].
