Kinetics of photochemical reactions of a new biphotochromic compound upon photolysis with light of different wavelengths

摘要

Using the method of microsecond flash photolysis with UV and visible light, the spectral and kinetic characteristics of intermediate products of photolysis in toluene and methanol solutions of a new biphotochromic compound have been studied, in which two photochromic moieties, spironaphthoxazine and azomethine, are linked to each other in such a way that there is conjugation between pi-electronic systems of the moieties in the ground state of the molecule. Two intermediate products have detected, whose relative efficiency of formation substantially depends on the solvent and the wavelength of excitation light.
