19. To demonstrate the possibilities for incorporation of polystable NAPT-based photochromic molecules in more complex structures, 1 was included into the cavity of γ-cyclodextrin (γCD) by mixing a solution of γCD in MeOH to which a drop of water was added (to dissolve the γCD), with a solution of 1 in MeOH. Upon several seconds of irradiation with UV light from a high-pressure mercury lamp at 298 K, the large colorless crystals of the adduct 1@ γCD turn blue. The coloration depends on the exposure time and at ambient conditions is completely thermally bleachable. The crystals of 1@ γCD can be cycled between the colorless and the blue forms several times without visible residual coloration.
