Substituent, Heteroatom, and Solvent Effects on the Thermal-Bleaching Kinetics and Absorption Spectra of Photomerocyanines Issued from Spiro[indoline-oxazines]Quantitative information useful for the development of new photochromic systems is obtained from the study of heteroatom and substituent effects on the thermal-bleaching kinetics and the absorption spectra of the photomerocyanines issued from spiro[indoline-oxazines]. The effect on photochromic properties of the presence of N-atoms either in the dimethine bridge or in the aromatic rings has been investigated through the comparison of spiro[indoline-naphthopyrans] C with spiro[indoline-naphthoxazines] A and with spiro[indoline-quinolinoxazines] B. Besides the occurrence of biexponential thermal-bleaching kinetics in non-polar solvents is observed: a tentative explanation for this observation is given which involves the formation, in either sequential or parallel steps, of energetically distinct stereoisomers of the opened form.
