The vibrational structure of the T 1 resonance Raman spectra of β-ionylideneacetaldehyde (C15 aldehyde) and retinal are analyzed with the help of semiempiricalquantum chemical calculations. The T 1 equilibrium structures and vibrational forcefields, along with the structure in the T n state which is in resonance with the excitingwavelength, are obtained and employed to model the spectra under the assumption of adominant Franck–Condon mechanism.
