Control of the Photo-Isomerization Mechanism in 3<i>H</i>-Naphthopyrans to Prevent Formation of Unwanted Long-Lived Photoproducts

In the photochromic reactions of 3<i>H</i>-naphthopyrans, two colored isomers TC (transoid-<i>cis</i>) and TT (transoid-<i>trans</i>) are formed. In terms of optimized photo-switchable materials, synthetic efforts are nowadays evolving toward developing 3<i>...
