How β -Ionone Ring Dynamics and Conformational Heterogeneity Control Carotenoid Photophysics

Abstract Carotenoid ultrafast photophysics has been studied for decades, but fully resolving their excited-state relaxation mechanisms remains a central, driving pursuit. Here, we investigate mini-β-carotene (m5) as a tractable model system, coupling high time-resolution transien...
