摘要: Absorption spectra of β -carotene in 31 solvents are measured in ambient conditions. Solvent effects on the 0--0 band energy, the bandwidth, and the transition moment of the S0S2 transition are analysed. The discrepancies between published results of the solvent effects on the 0--0 band energy are explained by taking into account microscopic solute-solvent interactions. The contributions of polarity and polarizability of solvents to 0--0 band energy and bandwidth are quantitatively distinguished. The 0--0 transition energy of the S2 state at the gas phase is predicted to locate between 23000 and 23600~cm-1.
