Abstract

The resonance Raman intensity of the totally symmetric (i.e. in plane) modes of the nucleic acid bases is derived from shifts of the excited state potential energy along the various 3N-6 normal modes, Qj.1–6 If the shift is large the dependence of the Raman intensity on the displacement is rather complicated.5–6 However if the shift is small the dependence is simply proportional to the square of the displacement, Δj, along the various normal modes.3,6
