The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a photochromic compound having an excellent color fading rate and excellent durability; a naphthol derivative that can become an intermediate for the photochromic compound; and a curable composition, an optical article, a lens and eyeglasses each containing the photochromic compound. According to embodiments, a photochromic compound having a backbone represented by formula (1) is provided. In formula (1), M represents C, Si or Ge; R1 represents a haloalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms inclusive; R2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms inclusive or a substituted or unsubstituted haloalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms inclusive.
The present invention relates to dynamic covalent chemistry of spiropyrans and application thereof. In particular, a process is provided to synthesize spiropyrans via an exchange reaction. Thereby, substitution patterns at spiropyrans may be firstly synthetically accessible. The provided spiropyrans contain specific substituents and substitution patterns and are used as dual color photoinitiators, which result in improved dual colorvolumetric printing (xolography). The present invention relates further to a process for locally polymerizing a starting material by dual color photopolymerization. In particular, photoinitiators are provided, which cause efficient curing of photopolymerizable formulations upon irradiation with two different wavelengths, and which may be used for volumetric printing (xolocure initiators).
Compounds useful as fluorescent or colored dyes are disclosed. The compounds have the following structure (I): or a stereoisomer, tautomer or salt thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, L1, L3, L4, L6, L7, L8, M1, M2, q, w and n are as defined herein. Methods associated with preparation and use of such compounds are also provided.
The invention relates to a sealantsystem comprising at least one base component, comoprising at least one thiol- terminated polymer selected from the group consisting of polysulfides, polythioethers, polyethers and copolymers thereof; and at least one hardener component, comprising at least one polyepoxide, wherein the base component further comprises at least one non-ionic photo-latent base having the general formula (PCG)-(BG)n, wherein PCG stands for a photocleavable group; BG stands for a base group; n is 1 or 2; the base formed after cleaving the bond between PCG and BG is a non-ionic base, and possesses a pKa value of the conjugate acid of ≥ 10.0; and the non-ionic photo-latent base has a photoactivation wavelength for cleaving the bond between PCG and BG in the range of 300 nm to 420 nm.
Described herein is a beta-glycoside of structural formula (I) wherein X1 or X2 is-C (= O) OR, R is an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 6 (1 to 4) carbon atoms, and Y is a monovalent sugar selected from the group consisting of beta-D-glucose, beta-D-galactose, beta-D-glucuronic acid, N-acetylglucosamine or galactosamine, where when X1 is-C (= O) OR then X2 is-H, and when X2 is-C (= O) OR then X1 is-H. Such beta-glycosides can be used as indicators, such as biological indicators. (I)
