1. A Scifinder search yields <100 references on negative photochromism out of the many thousands of papers on photochromism; most references (a-e) are to spiropyran derivatives, many of which show solvent-dependent negative photochromism (f). Few papers were on other systems (g and h). Yokoyama, Y.; Shiroyama, Y. Chem. Lett. 1995, 71-72
