New publication in Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy.
Congratulations to Elliot Tay, Jono Barnsley, Keith Gordon who worked with Otago alumni Daniel Thomas (Massey, Auckland) for their recent publication “Elucidating the resonance Raman spectra of Psittacofulvins” https://doi.org/10.1016/j.saa.2021.120146
This work describes how resonance Raman spectroscopy can be used to figure out the pigment structures in parrot feathers. The group provided evidence for a long chain pigment that gives the deeper colours.
