Photochromism and mechanism of pyrazolones in crystals: structural variations directly observed by X-ray diffraction

Abstract

Structural changes of photochromic pyrazolones were first verified by an X-ray crystallographic method directly. A tautomeric transformation between enol and keto form isomers occurs, accompanied by proton transfer during the photochromic processes.
