Abstract
A series of cycloalkylidene fulgides have been synthesized using β,γ-unsaturated diesters, instead of the usual α,β- unsaturated diesters. A study of their photochromic properties revealed that an increase in the cycloalkylidene ring size caused a subsequent decrease in the formation of the closed form from the open form.
