Spiropyran

A spiropyran is a type of photochromic organic chemical compound, characterized by their ability to reversibly switch between two structural forms—spiropyran and merocyanine—upon exposure to light or other external stimuli. This reversible transformation alters their optical and electronic properties, making them valuable in various applications, including molecular switches, optical data storage, sensors, and smart materials.
