Abstract: A series of novel 6-chloro-8-bromo-spiropyrans were designed and synthesized. The structures of all the compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, IR, MS, and elemental analysis. Single crystals of 1',3',3',5'-tetramethyl 6-Cl-8-Br-spiro(indoline-2,2'-[2H]-benzopyran) were determined by X-ray single diffraction. Combined with UV-Vis absorption spectra, the photochromic properties of these compounds were studied intensively in different solvents. Moreover, the relationship between the structure, solvent polarity and photochromism were analyzed. The results show that and the compound takes on excellent photochromism in the strong polarity solvents, electron-donor groups in indoline moiety and solvents with a strong polarity made the maximum absorption wavelength to hypochromic shift.
