The purity and the depth of the color of phthalocyanines arise front an isolated band (Q band) in the far-red end of the visible spectrum of light near 670 nm, with a molar absorption often exceeding 10s cm2 mol-1.77 321 A second absorption (B band), near 340 nm, extending to the blue of the visible spectrum is generally much less intense. Absorption spectra of 1,4-oc-tahcxyl-substitutcd PcNi322 and 1,4-octahexyl-substituted PcH2,323 both dissolved in chloroform, are shown below.

Fig. 1. Electronic states [or iron-group atoms, showing number of states as qualitative [unction of electronic energy. Electrons in band A are paired with similar electrons of neighboring atoms to form bonds. Electrons in band B are d electrons with small interatomic interaction they remain unpaired until the band is half-filled. The shaded area represents occupancy of the states by electrons in nickel, with 0.6 electron lacking from a completely filled B band. (States corresponding to occupancy of bond orbitals by unshared electron pairs are not shown in the diagram.)...

The structure of CaB contains bonding bands typical of the boron sublattice and capable of accommodating 20 electrons per CaB formula, and separated from antibonding bands by a relatively narrow gap (from 1.5 to 4.4 eV) . The B atoms of the B(, octahedron yield only 18 electrons thus a transfer of two electrons from the metal to the boron sublattice is necessary to stabilize the crystalline framework. The semiconducting properties of M B phases (M = Ca, Sr ", Ba, Eu, Yb ) and the metallic ones of M B or M B5 phases (Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd ", Gd , Tb , Dy and Th ) are directly explained by this model . The validity of these models may be questionable because of the existence and stability of Na,Ba, Bft solid solutions and of KB, since they prove that the CaB -type structure is still stable when the electron contribution of the inserted atom is less than two . A detailed description of physical properties of hexaborides involves not only the bonding and antibonding B bands, but also bonds originating in the atomic orbitals of the inserted metal . ...

Ultraviolet wavelengths of 290-310 nm from the UV-B band of radiation constitute the principal tissue-damaging rays of the sun, which are not fully atmospherically filtered. An hour s exposure to the summer sun and its damaging rays can produce a painful burn with a characteristic erythema. The skin has natural mechanisms to prevent or minimize such sun-induced trauma, but it takes time to set these into place. Upon... 

Ultrafast ESPT from the neutral form readily explains why excitation into the A and B bands of AvGFP leads to a similar green anionic fluorescence emission [84], Simplistic thermodynamic analysis, by way of the Forster cycle, indicates that the excited state protonation pK.J of the chromophore is lowered by about 9 units as compared to its ground state. However, because the green anionic emission is slightly different when it arises from excitation into band A or band B (Fig. 5) and because these differences are even more pronounced at low temperatures [81, 118], fluorescence after excitation of the neutral A state must occur from an intermediate anionic form I not exactly equivalent to B. State I is usually viewed as an excited anionic chromophore surrounded by an unrelaxed, neutral-like protein conformation. The kinetic and thermodynamic system formed by the respective ground and excited states of A, B, and I is sometimes called the three state model (Fig. 7).

Recently, rapid kinetics have been observed in anisotropy measurements applied to the P and B bands [10,21,31,39,51], It is found that prior to ET, there exist a few steps in the P and B bands. These measurements provide detailed information on the P and B bands, especially for the nature of the electronic... 

Because we are concerned only with the analysis of the absorption spectra of P band and B band, we consider the excitonic interactions among P, BL, and BM shown in Fig. 8. Here (oti, ot2,0C3,014) represent the diagonal matrix elements, while (p, (314, P23, P34) represent the off-diagonal matrix elements [67]. As shown in Introduction, a main feature of the P band is that its absorption maximum shows a pronounced temperature shift [42,52], According to the displaced oscillator model, the absorption maximum is independent of T. Although the distortion effect of potential surfaces will introduce some temperature shift, the effect cannot be as large as that shown in Fig. 2. 

From Eq. (2.38) we can see that in order to analyze the absorption spectra it is necessary to know the vibrational modes involved and their Huang-Rhys factors. Fortunately for the B band, these data have been obtained by Mathies and Boxer (see Table I) by analyzing the resonance Raman spectra [42,46,47]. But they only analyzed the B band. The data shown in Table I for the P band are from the literature [42,46,47] and from our fitting of absorption spectra [68]. 

Recently, Scherer et al. have used the 10-fs laser pulse with A,excitation = 860 nm to study the dynamical behavior of Rb. Sphaeroides R26 at room temperatures. In this case, due to the use of the 10-fs pulse both P band and B band are coherently excited. Thus the quantum beat behaviors are much more complicated. We have used the data given in Table I and Fig. 19 to simulate the quantum beat behaviors (see also Fig. 22). Without including the electronic coherence, the agreement between experiment and theory can not be accomplished. 

In table 2 are listed the various band systems with the origin (ve) of each, from which are derived the energy levels of table 1. In general, the value of ve is merely the frequency of the first line of the Q branch, but the error thus introduced is negligible. Richardson s recent conclusions are based entirely on the identification of the lower level of his A and B bands with Dieke and Hopfield s B level (215). The agreement is very striking. Thus the vibrational level intervals, as measured by Richardson are 1313.26, 1276.42 and 1247.67 cm.-1, while the same intervals, as measured by Dieke and Hopfield,6 from the ultra-violet absorption bands, are 1313, 1276 and 1247 cm.-1... 

Richardson considers that the upper levels of the A and B bands are 3 lP and 41P, and with an assumed Rydberg formula the writer finds... 

The above analysis thus indicates that Richardson s identification of the B level of Dieke and Hopfield with the final level of his A and B bands is justified by the vibrational level intervals, and by the direct and indirect evaluation of the various heats of dissociation. It is justified by the rotational level intervals only if Richardson s value of 2B0 is halved, giving Jo — 1.99 X 10 40 for this common level, in agreement with Hori s analysis. The identification of the 2 P and C levels is inconsistent with...
