Abstract:

Naphthopyran and its derivatives are transitional photochromic materials with low background color, good resistance fatigue and fine contral over fading kinetics. Herein, we introduce the progress of the application of naphthopyran in photochromic fluorescence switching, including hazarding manner, polymers and organic molecules in solutions and films.These researches also explored the potential applications in non-destructive readout and fluorescent images.

Key words: photochromism, naphthopyran, fluorescence switching
