56. 2H. In all cases, the emission intensity remained constant. (17) The solution was irradiated for 5 min at 254 nm using a Mineralight UVGL-25 lamp. During irradiation, the ratio between SP and ME changed from the initial 100:0 to a stationary 84:16. These values were derived from the absorbance measured at 563 nm using the molar extinction coefficient of the merocyanine form of the parent compound 1′,3′-dihydro-1′,3′,3′-trimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2H- 1-benzopyran-2,2′(2H)-indole].

60. The output signal O1 is off when the relative emission intensity at 373 nm is ca. 50%. It is on when the relative intensity is ca. 60%. The ratio between these two values is 1.2 and is smaller than that between the two switching voltage levels of most electronic devices, which is at least 2.5. If necessary, however, this ratio can be optimized adjusting the molecular design of the communicating components.
