Novel photochromism of differently-linked bis-benzopyrans

Abstract

The unique photochromic bis-chromene 5 incorporates the structural attributes of both 3 and 4. UV–vis irradiation of 5 leads to a dark brown colour, which is formed by mixing the purple and red colours observed for the photolysates of 3 and 4, respectively.
