Photochromic materials comprising indeno-fused naphthopyrans having a first electron-withdrawing substituent and, in certain non-limiting embodiments, a second electron-withdrawing substituent are disclosed. The photochromic materials according to the various embodiments may display faster fade rates, bathochromic shift, and higher performance ratings compared to comparable indeno-fused naphthopyrans without the electron-withdrawing substituents. Photochromic compositions and articles, such as optical elements, incorporating the photochromic materials are also disclosed.
本发明揭示了包括具有第一电子受体取代基和在某些非限制性实施例中具有第二电子受体取代基的
茚并
萘噻吩的光致变色材料。根据各种实施例,光致变色材料可能显示比没有电子受体取代基的
茚并
萘噻吩更快的褪色速率、红移和更高的性能评级。还揭示了包含光致变色材料的光致变色组合物和物品,例如光学元件。
