Abstract

We review the theory for overtones and combinations in resonant Raman spectroscopy introduced by Nafie, Stein and Peticolas in 1971 on the basis of time-ordered diagrams, and we apply it to β-carotene with the support of density functional theory calculations. Comparison with experimental results obtained by Tasumi’s group in 1994 is provided. The theory here presented allows a prompt evaluation of resonant Raman intensities with presently available quantum chemistry tools.
