Vf. Razumov et al., COMPLEXATION OF CROWNED SPIRONAPHTHOXAZINES AND THEIR ELECTRONIC ABSORPTION-SPECTRA, High energy chemistry, 32(3), 1998, pp. 185-189
The absorption spectra of novel crowned spironaphthoxazines and their
complexes with Ca2+ and Ba2+ are characterized. The stability constant
s for the complexes of the compounds investigated are high (the lower
limit is 10(6) l/mol). Incorporation of one or two substituents with a
crown ether group into the spironaphthoxazine molecule increases the
lifetime of the open form. The lifetime remains essentially unchanged
upon complexation.
