The ultraviolet–visible, infrared, and Raman spectral characteristics of some anils of benzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde in several solvents have been investigated. The ultraviolet–visible absorption data indicate that in solvents with a proton donating ability less than or equal to trifluoroethanol a single equilibrium exists in solutions of N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)aniline, whereas in solvents with a proton donating ability equal to or greater than hexafluoroisopropanol more than one equilibrium occurs. The infrared spectra of this compound dissolved in trifluoroethanol do not show new absorption bands in the 1700–1500 cm−1 region; however, new absorption bands in this region do appear when hexafluoroisopropanol is employed as solvent. From these data it is inferred that the first equilibrium involves the breaking of the chelate hydrogen bond and the second equilibrium involves actual protonation of N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)aniline in the electronic ground state. A comparison of the infrared and Raman spectra of the title compounds is also made and alternate assignments for several observed bands in the 1700–1500 cm−1 region are proposed.

Various characteristics of the change in the absorption spectrum induced by monochromatic laser-light irradiation were compared for a chromophore in a protein, a dye-doped polymer, and a dye-intercalated DNA. It was found that persistent spectral holes are burned in the absorption spectrum of Zn-substituted myoglobin (ZnMb) and of methylene blue intercalated into DNA as easily as of rhodamine 640 in polyvinyl alcohol when the lowest optical absorption bands are illuminated with laser light at low temperatures. In both ZnMb and dye-doped polymer, the hole depth has been found to grow almost logarithmically with burning time. This is explained well by a dispersive burning-kinetics model. A heat-cycle experiment using ZnMb has revealed that the conformational barrier height in the electronic ground state has a broad distribution. We conclude that the hole-burning characteristics are very similar among the systems examined.
