ABSTRACT:
Described are novel reversible photochromic naphthopyran compounds, examples of which are compounds substituted at the 3 position of the pyran ring with (i) an aryl substituent and (ii) a phenyl substituent having a 5- or 6-member heterocyclic ring fused at the number 3 and 4 carbon atoms of the phenyl substituent. Also described are organic host materials that contain or that are coated with such compounds. Articles such as ophthalmic lenses or other plastic transparencies that incorporate the novel naphthopyran compounds or combinations thereof with complementary photochromic compounds, e.g., spiro(indoline) type compounds, are also described.
