20110042629 | PHOTOCHROMIC MATERIALS HAVING EXTENDED PI-CONJUGATED SYSTEMS AND COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES INCLUDING THE SAME - The present invention provides a photochromic material which is an indeno-fused naphthopyran having a pi-conjugation extending group bonded to the 11-position of the indeno-fused naphthopyran, the pi-conjugation extending group having at least one pendent halo-substituted group bonded thereto. The pi-conjugation extending group extends the pi-conjugation system of said indeno-fused naphthopyran. The 13-position of the indeno-fused naphthopyran is substantially free of spiro-substituents. The invention further provides photochromic materials of specified structure, photochromic compositions, photochromic articles and optical elements that include the photochromic material. | 02-24-2011 |
20110049445 | PHOTOCHROMIC MATERIALS HAVING EXTENDED PI-CONJUGATED SYSTEMS AND COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES INCLUDING THE SAME - The present invention provides ophthalmic devices comprising at least one photochromic material which is an indeno-fused naphthopyran having a pi-conjugation extending group bonded to the 11-position of the indeno-fused naphthopyran, the pi-conjugation extending group having at least one pendent halo-substituted group bonded thereto. The pi-conjugation extending group extends the pi-conjugation system of said indeno-fused naphthopyran. The 13-position of the indeno-fused naphthopyran is substantially free of spiro-substituents. The invention further provides photochromic materials of specified structure, photochromic compositions, photochromic articles and optical elements that include the photochromic materials. Other non-limiting embodiments relate to methods of making the ophthalmic devices comprising photochromic materials. | 03-03-2011 |
20120136148 | Photochromic Compounds Having At Least Two Photochromic Moieties - The present invention relates to photochromic compounds that include at least two photochromic moieties that are linked together by a multivalent linking group. The multivalent linking group can be selected so as to be flexible and/or substantially prevent electronic interaction between any two photochromic moieties through the multivalent linking group. The present invention also relates to photochromic compositions and articles that include at least a photochromic amount of one or more photochromic compounds of the present invention. | 05-31-2012 |
20120145973 | Photochromic Materials That Include Indeno-Fused Naphthopyrans - The present invention relates to photochromic materials that include one or more indeno-fused naphthopyrans that have particular groups at the 7, 11, and 13 positions thereof, and at the position alpha to the oxygen of the pyran ring thereof. With some embodiments, hydrogen or an alkoxy group is bonded to the 7 position, an optionally substituted phenyl is bonded to the 11 position, two alkyl groups are bonded to the 13 position, and two optionally substituted phenyl groups are bonded to the position alpha to the oxygen of the pyran ring of the indeno-fused naphthopyran compound. The 13 position of the indeno-fused naphthopyrans is free of ether groups in which an ether oxygen is bonded to the 13 position, and hydroxyl. The present invention also relates to photochromic articles and compositions that include such indeno-fused naphthopyrans. | 06-14-2012 |
