Strategies used by nature to fix the red, purple and blue colours in plants: a physical chemistry approach

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2021, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D1CP03034E, PerspectiveNuno Bas ílio, Johan Mendoza, André Seco, Joana Oliveira, Victor de Freitas, Fernando Pina Simple anthocyanins by themselves are unable to give significant colours in plants. In this work, the strategies used by nature to fix the flavylium cation and quinoidal base colours are investigated from the point of view of their physical chemistry.
