Abstract
Described are novel photochromic pyrano-fused naphthopyran compounds, examples of which are naphthopyran compounds having a substituted or unsubstituted 'S' pyran ring, the 3,4 positions of which are fused to the f side of the naphtho portion of the naphthopyran, and certain substituents at the 2-position of the 'T' pyran ring. Certain substituents may also be present at the number 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 carbon atoms of the compounds. These compounds may be represented by the following graphic formula: ##STR1## Also described are polymeric organic host materials that contain or that are coated with such compounds or combinations thereof with complementary photochromic compounds, e.g., certain other naphthopyrans, benzopyrans, and spiro(indoline)type compounds.
