Guest-dependent novel photochromism of 7-bromo-1,4,8-triphenyl-2,3-benzo[3.3.0]octa-2,4,7-trien-6-one in its inclusion crystals
Abstract
Inclusion crystals of 7-bromo-1,4,8-triphenyl-2,3-benzo[3.3.0]octa-2,4,7-trien-6-one (1) showed a reversible color change from yellow to green on exposure to UV-light, and this depends on the guest molecules present.
