Various non-limiting embodiments disclosed herein relate to photochromic materials having extended pi-conjugated systems, such as an indeno-fused naphthopyran, which comprises a group that extends the pi-conjugated system of the indeno-fused naphthopyran bonded at the 11-position thereof. Further, the photochromic materials according to certain non-limiting embodiments disclosed herein may display hyperchromic absorption of electromagnetic radiation as compared to conventional photochromic materials and/or may have a closed-form absorption spectrum that is bathochromically shifted as compared to conventional photochromic materials. Other non-limiting embodiments relate to photochromic compositions and photochromic articles, such as optical elements, made using the disclosed photochromic materials, and methods of making the same.
本文披露了一些非限制性实施例,涉及具有扩展π-共轭系统的光致变色材料,例如一种在其11位点键合了扩展π-共轭系统的
吲哚并螺[2,3-f]
萘吡喃。此外,根据本文所披露的某些非限制性实施例,光致变色材料可以显示比传统光致变色材料更高的电磁辐射吸收,和/或具有比传统光致变色材料更向红移的闭合吸收光谱。其他非限制性实施例涉及使用所披露的光致变色材料制成的光致变色组合物和光致变色物品,例如光学元件,以及制造它们的方法。
