46. The absorptions at 680-690 nm with a very strong blue color were traced to the products of bimolecular reactions involving the photo-generated o-quinonoid intermediates and the precursor chromenes. Presumably, the o-quinonoid intermediates undergo, under steady-state photolysis, photoinduced electron transfer reactions with chromenes that contain e electron-rich triphenylamino moieties. These bimolecular reactions were found to be strongly subject to solvent polarity (not observed in cyclohexane), photon flux that generates persistent E,E isomers and concentrations of the precursor chromenes, and are expected to carry no bearing whatsoever for application of chromenes as photochromic materials.
