A study was carried out on a new class of photo- and thermochromic spirocyclic cyclohexadienoneperimidines and 4H-naphtholinoneperimidines. The structures of two of these compounds were determined. The lengths of the C(spiro)-N bonds were found to be unequivalent; one of these bonds is cleaved in the photo- and thermochromic transformations. The nitrogen atom of the perimidine ring in both compounds was found to have pyramidal configuration with cis arrangement of the unshared electron pairs, while the cyclohexadienone fragments are strongly distorted toward the boat conformation. The nature of the dependence of the photo- and thermochromic properties on their structure and solvent was established.

Thermodynamic equilibrium between the spirane and quinonimine structures of photochromic perimidine derivatives was studied by electron absorption spectroscopy and semiempirical quantum-chemical methods (AM1 and PM3). The experimental data showed that the reaction entropy DeltaS(0) in octane weakly depends on the substituent structure (0.015-0.024 kJ mol(-1) K-1) and that the enthalpy of the reaction for the compound with bulky isobutyl substituent (DeltaH(0) = 7.1 kJ/mol) is lower than for those containing hydrogen and methyl group (12.9 and 13.1 kJ/mol, respectively). According to the calculations, in the spirane structure the orientation of lone electron pairs on the perimidine nitrogen atoms may be both cisoid or transoid for different orientations of the cyclohexadiene fragment which adopts a boat conformation. The quinonimine isomer can also exist in different stable conformations.
