Abstract

Among photochromic compounds 1,3-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-ene derivatives are currently the subject of intense research due to their photochromic behavior particularly in the crystalline state. In this work, the click syntheses of photochromic compounds containing tetrasubstituted imidazole moieties have been investigated. The structure–photochromic behavior relationships of these compounds have been evaluated.
