Abstract
The Raman spectroscopy of chlorophyll (Chl) d isolated from Acaryochloris marina has been measured in the range of 250-3200 cm-1 at 77 K following excitation of its Bx band at 488 nm. A peak at 1659 cm-1 of medium intensity arising from C = O stretching vibration in the formyl group 31 specific to Chl d was observed clearly. Peaks due to other C = O stretching vibrations of the 131 keto-, 133 ester- and 173 groups have also been observed with much weaker intensities. Intense Raman peaks in the range of 1000-1800 cm-1 are reported and homologous comparison with corresponding Raman shifts of Chl a, Chl b and BChl a are presented.
