Abstract
Dispironaphthoxazines incorporating polyether chain were synthesized. Photochromic effects on cation binding capability of the molecules wer e investigated. Due to the photochromic spironaphthoxazine unit in the se compounds, complexation with metal cations is easily identified by the conventional spectroscopic method. Cation binding ability of dispi ronaphthoxazine with tetraethylene glycol unit is enhanced under the U V light irradiation. This type of photochromic compound may work as a photoresponsive ionophore.
