Definitions
- Non-limiting embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to photochromic compounds.
- Other non-limiting embodiments relate to devices and elements made using the photochromic compounds disclosed herein.
- Conventional photochromic compounds have at least two states, a first state having a first absorption spectrum and a second state having a second absorption spectrum that differs from the first absorption spectrum, and are capable of switching between the two states in response to at least actinic radiation.
- conventional photochromic compounds can be thermally reversible. That is, conventional photochromic compounds are capable of switching between a first state and a second state in response to at least actinic radiation and reverting back to the first state in response to thermal energy.
- actinic radiation means electromagnetic radiation, such as but not limited to ultraviolet and visible radiation that is capable of causing a response.
- conventional photochromic compounds can undergo a transformation in response to actinic radiation from one isomer to another, with each isomer having a characteristic absorption spectrum, and can further revert back to the first isomer in response to thermal energy (i.e., be thermally reversible).
- thermally reversible photochromic compounds are generally capable of switching from a first state, for example a "clear state,” to a second state, for example a "colored state,” in response to actinic radiation and reverting back to the "clear" state in response to thermal energy.
- Dichroic compounds are compounds that are capable of absorbing one of two orthogonal plane polarized components of transmitted radiation more strongly than the other.
- dichroic compounds are capable of linearly polarizing transmitted radiation.
- linearly polarize means to confine the vibrations of the electric vector of light waves to one direction or plane.
- dichroic materials are capable of preferentially absorbing one of two orthogonal plane polarized components of transmitted radiation, if the molecules of the dichroic compound are not suitably positioned or arranged, no net linear polarization of transmitted radiation will be achieved. That is, due to the random positioning of the molecules of the dichroic compound, selective absorption by the individual molecules will cancel each other such that no net or overall linear polarizing effect is achieved.
- conventional photochromic elements such as lenses for photochromic eyewear
- conventional photochromic elements can be formed, for example, by spin coating a solution containing a conventional photochromic compound and a "host" material onto the surface of the lens, and suitably curing the resultant coating or layer without arranging the photochromic compound in any particular orientation.
- the molecules of the conventional photochromic compound were suitably positioned or arranged as discussed above with respect to the dichroic compounds, because conventional photochromic compounds do not strongly demonstrate dichroism, elements made therefrom are generally not strongly linearly polarizing.
- photochromic compounds that can exhibit useful photochromic and/or dichroic properties in at least one state, and that can be used in a variety of applications to impart photochromic and/or dichroic properties.
- Fig. 1 shows two average difference absorption spectra obtained for a photochromic compound according to various non-limiting embodiments disclosed herein using the CELL METHOD.
- Fig. 2 shows a general reaction scheme for preparing photochromic compounds (PC) having different Q groups according to the present invention.
- Fig. 3 and 4 each show general reaction schemes for preparing naphthols having different Q groups according to the present invention.
- Fig. 5 shows a reaction scheme for preparing indeno-fused naphthols according to the present invention.
- Fig. 6 shows a reaction scheme for preparing naphthols according to the present invention.
- One non-limiting embodiment provides a thermally reversible, photochromic compound having a Q group at the position described hereinafter and optionally a Lengthening group L also described hereinafter.
- Another non-limiting embodiment provides a photochromic compound adapted to have at least a first state and a second state, wherein the thermally reversible, photochromic compound has an average absorption ratio greater than 2.3 in at least one state as determined according to the CELL METHOD, which is described in detail below.
- the thermally reversible, photochromic compound has an average absorption ratio greater than 2.3 in an activated state as determined according to the CELL METHOD.
- PC photochrome compound
- PC includes thermally reversible photochromic compounds chosen from indeno[2',3'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2- b]pyran, indeno[3',2'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2-b]pyran, thiopheno[2',3'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2-b]pyran, thiopheno[3',2'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2-b]pyran, benzothiopheno[2',3'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2-b]pyran, benzothiopheno[3',2'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2-b]pyran, furo[2',3'-3,4]naphtho[1 ,2-b]pyran, furo[3',2'-3,4]naphtho[1
- the term “activated state” refers to the photochromic compound when exposed to sufficient actinic radiation to cause the at least a portion of the photochromic compound to switch states.
- the term “compound” means a substance formed by the union of two or more elements, components, ingredients, or parts and includes, without limitation, molecules and macromolecules (for example polymers or oligomers) formed by the union of two or more elements, components, ingredients, or parts.
- the CELL METHOD of measuring average absorption ratio of a photochromic compound involves obtaining an absorption spectrum for the photochromic compound, in an activated or unactived state, in each of two orthogonal polarization directions while the photochromic compound is at least partially aligned in an aligned liquid crystal medium that is contained within a cell assembly.
- the cell assembly comprises two opposing glass substrates that are spaced apart by 20 microns +/- 1 micron. The substrates are sealed along two opposite edges to form the cell. The inner surface of each of the glass substrates is coated with a polyimide coating, the surface of which has been at least partially ordered by rubbing.
- Alignment of the photochromic compound is achieved by introducing the photochromic compound and a liquid crystal medium into the cell assembly and allowing the liquid crystal medium to align with the rubbed polyimide surface. Because the photochromic compound is contained within the liquid crystal medium, alignment of the liquid crystal medium causes the photochromic compound to be aligned. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the choice of the liquid crystal medium and the temperature used during testing can affect the measured absorption ratio.
- absorption ratio measurements are taken at room temperature (73 0 F +/- 0.5 0 F or better) and the liquid crystal medium is Licristal ® E7 (which is reported to be a mixture of cyanobiphenyl and cyanoterphenyl liquid crystal compounds).
- the cell assembly is placed on an optical bench (which is described in more detail in the Examples).
- activation of the photochromic compound is achieved by exposing the photochromic compound to UV radiation for a time sufficient to reach a saturated or near saturated state (that is, a state wherein the absorption properties of the photochromic compound do not substantially change over the interval of time during which the measurements are made).
- Absorption measurements are taken over a period of time (typically 10 to 300 seconds) at 3 second intervals for light that is linearly polarized in a plane perpendicular to the optical bench (referred to as the 0 ° polarization plane or direction) and light that is linearly polarized in a plane that is parallel to the optical bench (referred to as the 90° polarization plane or direction) in the following sequence: 0°, 90°, 90 °, 0° etc.
- the absorbance of the linearly polarized light by the cell is measured at each time interval for all of the wavelengths tested and the unactivated absorbance (i.e., the absorbance of the cell with the liquid crystal material and the unactivated photochromic compound) over the same range of wavelengths is subtracted to obtain absorption spectra for the photochromic compound in each of the 0 ° and 90 " polarization planes to obtain an average difference absorption spectrum in each polarization plane for the photochromic compound in the saturated or near-saturated state.
- the unactivated absorbance i.e., the absorbance of the cell with the liquid crystal material and the unactivated photochromic compound
- Fig. 1 there is shown the average difference absorption spectrum (generally indicated 10) in one polarization plane that was obtained for a photochromic compound according to one non-limiting embodiment disclosed herein.
- the average absorption spectrum (generally indicated 11 ) is the average difference absorption spectrum obtained for the same photochromic compound in the orthogonal polarization plane.
- the average absorption ratio for the photochromic compound is obtained as follows.
- AR ⁇ l Ab 1 ⁇ l /Ab 2 ⁇ l Eq.1 wherein, AR ⁇ l is the absorption ratio at wavelength ⁇ i, Ab 1 ⁇ l is the average absorption at wavelength ⁇ i in the polarization direction (i.e., 0 ° or 90 °) having the higher absorbance, and Ab 2 ⁇ l is the average absorption at wavelength ⁇ i in the remaining polarization direction.
- the "absorption ratio” refers to the ratio of the absorbance of radiation linearly polarized in a first plane to the absorbance of the same wavelength radiation linearly polarized in a plane orthogonal to the first plane, wherein the first plane is taken as the plane with the highest absorbance.
- the average absorption ratio ("AR") for the photochromic compound is then calculated by averaging the individual absorption ratios obtained for the wavelengths within the predetermined range of wavelengths (i.e., ⁇ max - V ⁇ s +/- 5 nanometers) according to the following equation:
- AR ( ⁇ AR ⁇ l )/ n, Eq. 2
- AR is average absorption ratio for the photochromic compound
- AR ⁇ l are the individual absorption ratios (as determined above in Eq. 1 ) for each wavelength within the predetermined the range of wavelengths (i.e., ⁇ ma ⁇ -v ⁇ s +/- 5 nanometers)
- n is the number of individual absorption ratios averaged.
- conventional thermally reversible photochromic compounds are adapted to switch from a first state to a second state in response to actinic radiation, and to revert back to the first state in response to thermal energy. More specifically, conventional thermally reversible, photochromic compounds are capable of transforming from one isomeric form (for example and without limitation, a closed form) to another isomeric form (for example and without limitation, an open form) in response to actinic radiation, and reverting back to the closed form when exposed to thermal energy.
- generally conventional thermally reversible photochromic compounds do not strongly demonstrate dichroism.
- non-limiting embodiments disclosed herein provide a thermally reversible photochromic compound having an average absorption ratio greater than 2.3 in at least one state as determined according to CELL METHOD and/or a thermally reversible photochromic compound that can be used as an intermediate in the preparation of a photochromic compound having an absorption ratio greater than 2.3.
- the thermally reversible photochromic compound according to this non-limiting embodiment can display useful photochromic properties and/or useful photochromic and dichroic properties. That is, the thermally reversible, photochromic compound can be a thermally reversible, photochromic and/or photochromic-dichroic compound.
- photochromic-dichroic means displaying both photochromic and dichroic properties under certain conditions, which properties are at least detectable by instrumentation.
- the thermally reversible photochromic compounds can be thermally reversible photochromic-dichroic compounds having an average absorption ratio ranging from 4 to 20, from 3 to 30, or from 2.5 to 50 in at least one state as determined according to CELL METHOD. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the higher the average absorption ratio of the photochromic compound the more linearly polarizing the photochromic compound will be. Therefore, according to various non-limiting embodiments, the thermally reversible photochromic compounds can have any average absorption ratio required to achieve a desired level of linear polarization.
- Another non-limiting embodiment provides a thermally reversible, photochromic compound that is free of oxazines and adapted to have at least a first state and a second state, wherein the photochromic compound has an average absorption ratio of at least 1 .5 in at least one state as determined according to CELL METHOD.
