New Salt Spiropyran of Indoline Series with Fluorine Substituent

Resumo

Synthesis, study of structure and photochromic properties of new salt spiropyran of indoline series containing a fluorine substituent in the 6′-position of the 2H-chromene moiety have been described in the work. The structure of the compound has been confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Comparison of the structure of the compound with the previously studied analogue containing a methyl group instead of a fluorine atom in the 6′-position of the [2H]-chromene moiety has been made. This compound has been found to be photochromic, long-wavelength absorption maximum of its open form shows a bathochromic shift, and lifetime is increased three times as compared with the methyl analogue.
