Abstract:

β-Carotene is the polyenes linear biological molecule, which can form charge transfer complex in iodine solution. We measured the UV-Vis absorption and Raman spectra by the Avaspec-2048-2 spectrophotometer and the micro Raman spectrometer(Renishaw InVia Raman microscope), respectively. The result show that the UV-Vis absorption spectra at 460 nm of β-carotene disappeare in polar solvent 1,2-dichloroethane. And a new, intense absorption band of complex which was formed by β-carotene and iodine was found at 1000 nm. So the resonance Raman spectra of β-carotene in complex couldn′t be observed by 514.5 nm Laser. And Raman cross section of β-caroten that wasn′t in the complex reduced. Due to the solution of β-carotene and iodine was unstable, the molecule structural order of β-caroten weaked, which lead to the weak of coherent weakly damped C-C vibrations, and made the Raman scattering cross section reduced.

Key words: Raman scattering cross section; Complex; β-Carotene
