Solid state photochromism of spiropyrans
A series of spiropyrans possessing photochromic properties in solid state were investigated. UV irradiation (λmax=365 nm) of the thin vacuum deposited spiropyran films results in conversion of the colorless form to the photocolored one. The reaction is photochemically and thermally reversible. The p...
