Abstract

Excited state dynamics in LH2 complexes of two purple bacterial species were studied by broad-band two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy. The optical response was measured in the 500-600 nm spectral region on the 0-400 fs time scale. Global target analysis of two-dimensional (2D) transient spectra revealed the main energy transfer pathways between carotenoid S₂, 1B _u^- and S₁ states and bacteriochlorophyll Q _x state. Global analysis ascertained the evolutionary and vibration-associated spectra, which also indicated the presence of a higher-lying vibrational level in the carotenoid S₁ state. The estimation of the spectral overlap between the 1B_u^- state and the Q_x state indicated a significant contribution of the 1B _u^- state to the overall S₂-to-Q_x excitation energy transfer.
