Energy Transfer and Exciton Relaxation in B880-B800-RC Complex through Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy

The light-harvesting (LH) and reaction center (RC) core complex of purple bacterium Roseiflexus castenholzii, B880-B800-RC, are different from those of the typical photosynthetic unit, (B850-B800)x-B880-RC. To investigate the excitation flowing dynamics in this unique complex, two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy is employed. The obtained time constants for the exciton relaxation in B880, exciton relaxation in B800, B800 → B880 energy transfer (EET), and B880 → closed RC EET are 43 fs, 177 fs, 1.9 ps, and 205 ps, respectively. These time constants result in an overall EET efficiency similar to that of the typical photosynthetic unit. Analysis of the oscillatory signals reveals that while several vibronic coherences are involved in the exciton relaxation process, only one prominent vibronic coherence, with a frequency of 27 cm-1 and coupled to the B880 electronic transition, may contribute to the B800 → B880 EET process.
