A weak absorption tail related to the Q  y singlet electronic transition of solvated chlorophyll a is discovered using sensitive anti-Stokes fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The quasi-exponentially decreasing tail was, at ambient temperature, readily observable as far as -2400 cm -1 from the absorption peak and at relative intensity of 10 -7 . The tail also weakened rapidly upon cooling the sample, implying its basic thermally activated nature. The shape of the spectrum as well as its temperature dependence were qualitatively well reproduced by quantum chemical calculations involving the pigment intramolecular vibrational modes, their overtones, and pairwise combination modes, but no intermolecular/solvent modes. A similar tail was observed earlier in the case of bacteriochlorophyll a , suggesting generality of this phenomenon. Long vibronic red tails are, thus, expected to exist in all pigments of light-harvesting relevance at physiological temperatures.
