Abstract

Abstract The synthesis and the photochromic properties of new photochromic 6, 7-and 7, 8- benzoindene annellated benzopyrans are described. When compared to parent indeno- fused 2H-chromenes (2H-[1] benzopyrans), compounds 10 and 12 exhibit a significant bathochromic shift of maximum-absorption wavelength, an increase in the colorability, and similar fading rates.
