Photoexcited state dynamics and singlet fission in carotenoids [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We describe our dynamical simulations of the excited states of the carotenoid, neurosporene, following its photoexcitation into the 'bright' (nominally $1^1B_u^+$) state. We employ the adaptive tDMRG method on the UV model of $\pi$-conjugated electrons and use the Ehrenfest equations of motion to simulate the coupled nuclei dynamics. To account for the

Carotenoids in Fruits of Different Persimmon Cultivars
Molecules, 2011 Carotenoids in the peel and the flesh of persimmon fruit were identified, and the contents of carotenoids in the fleshes of 46 different persimmon cultivars were analyzed. The results indicated that 31 specific carotenoids were detected in both cultivars
