This book, Organic Photochromic and Thermochromic Compounds, is the
fourth major treatise on photochromism involving organic molecules
and derived systems. The first such book was edited by G.H. Brown
in the Weissberger series in 1971, the second was edited by H.
DA1/4rr and H. Bouas-Laurent in the Elsevier series in 1990. A
third book, edited by C.B. McArdle, should be added to the list,
which focuses on the very important topic of the behavior of
photochromic systems in polymer matrices. The current book is a
result of the large increase in the number of publications and
patents concerning photochromic compounds and their use in various
applications (e.g. ophthalmic lenses, security printing, etc.)
during the last 10 years. As a result of this increased interest,
two successful International Symposia on Photochromism have been
held: the first, ISOP93, in France on Embiez Island near Bandol
(September 12-16, 1993) and the second, ISOP96, in the United
States in Clearwater, Florida (September 8-12, 1996). The number of
countries represented at each of these symposia (17 and 16,
respectively) attests to the international scope of the
photochromic research community. This global interest is also
exemplified by the authors of the chapters within this book. The
second volume of this new review is focused on the physico-chemical
properties and photochromic behavior of the best-known systems,
which have led to new developments in the known photochromic series
or the discovery of new families. Chapters are included on the most
appropriate physico-chemical methods by which photochromic
substances can be studied (spectrokinetic studies on
photostationary states, Raman spectroscopy, EPR,
chemicalcomputations and molecular modeling, X-ray diffraction
analysis). In addition, special topics such as interaction between
photochromic compounds and polymer matrices, photodegradation
mechanisms, and potential biological applications have been
treated. The last chapter, on thermochromic materials, is included
to emphasize the chemical similarities between photochromic and
thermochromic materials. In general, the literature cited within
the chapters covers publications through 1995.
