The reversible photoisomerization of a derivative of spiropyran at the level of a single crystal by using zeolite L is demonstrated. The synthesized spiropyran exhibits rare negative photochromism when dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of H₂O and EtOH The spiropyran is functionalized predominantly at the channel entrances in the case of 4 μm long crystals

Fulgimides monosubstituted with [M(bpy)₃]²⁺ (M = Ru, Os; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) chromophore units and with a single bpy group were synthesized and investigated as components of conceivable dinuclear photochromic switches of luminescence. The E-, Z- and closed-ring (C) photoisomer forms of the bpy-bound fulgimide were successfully separated by semi-preparative HPLC. The same...

A dithienylethene derivative containing a cyclobutene-1,2-dione skeleton does not exhibit photochromic properties. However, when both ketone functions are protected with cyclic acetal groups, photochromic behavior is observed.

Ligands 1 and 2 underwent quantitative photooxidation when they were reacted with singlet oxygen sensitized by methylene blue. However, the quantitative reaction became self-sensitized for the compound Ru(1) wherein the ruthenium complex acted as a sensitizer.
