Аннотация:We carried out calculations of non-resonance Raman spectra of ß-carotene and polyenes CH2=(CH-CH=)n-2CH=CH2 using the density functional theory (DFT). We revealed that the peak positions and intensities of the C-C and C=C stretching bands depend on length of the polyene chain and type of the isomer. Our experimentalnon-resonance Raman spectra of ß-carotene powder match well the DFT-simulated Raman spectrumof ß-carotene in the all-trans form. The peak positions and relative intensities of the C C and C C stretchingbands of ß-carotene turned out to be similar in the resonance and non-resonance Raman spectra. An increase inthe number of conjugated double bonds (n = 3–30) in a polyene structure results in a monotonous shift of thepositions of the most intense C-C and C=C bands towards lower wavenumbers with an increase in the bandintensities. An increase in the isomer number results in the monotonous decrease of the C C stretching band intensity for polyenes with 9, 10, 11, 15 and 24 double bonds. An increase in the isomer number inhomogeneously influences the form, position and intensity of the C-C stretching band.
