Abstract
A study of photochromic dihydroindolizines and diarylethylenes was carried out. The photochromism for these molecules is based on an electrocyclic 6 p i-process. Photochromic films were prepared by embedding these molecules in polythiourethane matrices and their potential as holographic recording mat erial was evaluated.
