Asymmetry in the Qy Fluorescence and Absorption Spectra of Chlorophyll a Pertaining to Exciton Dynamics

Significant asymmetry found between the high-resolution Qy emission and absorption spectra of chlorophyll-a is herein explained, providing basic information needed to understand photosynthetic exciton transport and photochemical reactions. The Qy spectral asymmetry in chlorophyll has previously been...
