The vibrational structure of the T1 resonance Raman spectra of β-ionylidene acetaldehyde (C15 aldehyde) and retinal are analyzed with the help of semiempirical quantum chemical calculations. The T1 equilibrium structures and vibrational force fields, along with the structure in the Tn state which is in resonance with the exciting wavelength, are obtained and employed to model the spectra under the assumption of a dominant Franck–Condon mechanism.

Resonance Raman spectra of the gram-negative organism, Escherichia coli, have been obtained with 222.5-, 230.6-, and 251.0-nm excitation, and the results have been compared with those reported earlier for 242.4-nm excitation. Major changes in bacterial spectra have been observed with changes in exciting wavelength. The origins of the major peaks in each spectrum have been explained primarily in terms of contributions of nucleic acid bases and aromatic amino acids. As an aid in making assignments, spectra of aromatic amino acids, nucleosides, and mixtures of the two have been obtained at each wavelength used to excite bacterial spectra. Background fluorescence has been observed to be negligible below 251 nm. Selective excitation of bacterial nucleic acid and protein components has been done with ease. Results suggest that an extension of the exciting wavelength range to 190–220 nm will allow the selective excitation of additional cell components.
