Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of molecules of broad interest that has longbeen explored by various spectroscopic techniques. The electronic spectroscopy of thesespecies is of particular interest since it provides a framework for the understanding ofthe electronic structure of large polyatomic molecules. Such studies also allow thesystematic investigation of electronic relaxation mechanisms in large molecules. In thisreview, we focus on the gas-phase experimental work on such systems and present the latestprogress. We also underline the challenges that remain to be tackled. A focus on theunderstanding of the electronic relaxation pathways at work in gas-phase PAHs will also bepresented, as well as their possible manifestation in space.
