Abstract

Organic photochromic compounds have significant implications in a number of applications that include optical data storage and switching, imaging devices, smart windows, etc. 1 In particular, benzo- and naphthopyran derivatives have emerged as an important class of photochromic materials due to their practical applications in variable optical transmission glasses and optoelectronic devices. 2 As compared to benzopyrans, naphthopyrans have been extensively ...
