We have investigated the photophysics of aggregated lutein/violaxanthin in daffodil chromoplasts. We reveal the presence of three carotenoid aggregate species, the main one composed of a mixture of lutein/violaxanthin absorbing at 481 nm, and two secondary populations of aggregated carotenoids absorbing circa 500 and 402 nm. The major population exhibits an efficient singlet fission process, generating μs-lived triplet states on an ultrafast timescale. The structural organization of aggregated lutein/violaxanthin in daffodil chromoplasts produces well-defined electronic levels that permit the energetic pathways to be disentangled unequivocally, allowing us to propose a consistent mechanism for singlet fission in carotenoid aggregates. Transient absorption measurements on this system reveal for the first time an entangled triplet signature for carotenoid aggregates, and its evolution into dissociated triplet states. A clear picture of the carotenoid singlet fission pathway is obtained, which is usually blurred due to the intrinsic disorder of carotenoid aggregates.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
