Abstract
AbstractAbsorption spectra in the near infra‐red have been obtained for transient species obtained from chlorophyll a, by flash absorption spectroscopy. The triplet state of Chl a presents an absorption band around 760 nm (ϵ = 7,500 M−1 cm−1) and a very broad band (ϵ = 1,700 M−1 cm−1) around 1100 nm. At low temperature, evidence was obtained for the formation of the triplet state of aggregated Chl a. Its t1/2 of decay is around 0.5 ms instead of 1 ms for the monomeric species. The radical‐cation Chl a+ was formed by reaction of 3Chl a with a quinone; it has an absorption band at 840 nm (in cyclohexanol) with a shoulder around 740 nm and no absorption between 1000 and 1650 nm. The cation has also been formed in vivo, as the oxidized state of the photosynthetic primary electron donors, P680 and P700. The spectrum of P+680 resembles that of Chl a+; its absorption maximum is at 820 nm. The spectrum of P+680, maximum at 810 nm, is significantly broader. P+700 has no absorption between 1000 and 1650 nm. These spectra are in favor of recent suggestions on a monomeric nature of P680 and of a dimeric nature for P700.
