NPQ (non-photochemical quenching) is a fundamental photosynthetic mechanism by which plants protect themselves against excess excitation energy and the resulting photodamage. A discussed molecular mechanism of the so-called feedback de-excitation component (qE) of NPQ involves the formation of a quenching complex. Recently, we have studied the influence of formation of a zeaxanthin–chlorophyll complex on the excited states of the pigments using high-level quantum chemical methodology. In the case of complex formation, electron-transfer quenching of chlorophyll-excited states by carotenoids is a relevant quenching mechanism. Furthermore, additionally occurring charge-transfer excited states can be exploited experimentally to prove the existence of the quenching complex during NPQ.

Experimental results and high-level quantum chemical ab initio calculations of the static polarizability α=α(ω=0)) of the cadmium 1S0 state are still in marked disagreement. Here we analyze this discrepancy by using experimentally determined dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSD). It will be shown that within this procedure the experimentally determined static polarizability α0 will shift from 49.7± 1.6 au to considerably lower values. We now conclude an experimentally determined polarizability of α0 = 47.5 ± 2.0 au in much better agreement with the latest calculations of α0~ 46 au. Keywords: cadmium, polarizability, DOSD
