Abstract
The title compound exhibits in its crystalline state both photochromic and thermochromic properties. The crystal structure shows that the sa licylaldimino part is planar to permit enol - keto isomerization and t hus thermochromism. Moreover, the crystal packing permits the cis - tr ans isomerization of the keto species to form the photoproduct.
