Mechanistic insights into photochromic 3H-naphthopyran showing strong photocoloration

Abstract 3,3-Diphenylbenzo[f]chromene (1) represents an important architectural platform for photochromic systems. Since the practical utility of such chromophores is largely dependent upon the kinetics of coloration and decoloration, elucidating the mechanistic details of these processes is of grea...
