N-Salicylideneaniline (SA) derivatives are traditional organic photochromic compounds whose properties are closely related to their molecular conformations and crystal structures. We herein present the photochromic property switching phenomenon of SA ammonium salt crystals using a deammoniation reaction. TheN-salicylidene-4-carboxyaniline ammonium salt crystal (1-Sα) was found to exhibit photochromism upon irradiation with UV light. Upon heating,1-Sαdesorbed ammonia gas and transformed into a nonionic SA crystal (1-N) with non-photochromic properties. Surprisingly, this phase transition induced the “jumping crystal” phenomenon. Thus, the crystal structures both before and after the phase transition were determined, and it was revealed that the switching phenomenon of photochromism (photochromism switching) was caused by the crystal structural and molecular conformational changes that took place upon deammoniation. In addition,1-Nreverted to1-Sαby exposure to aqua-ammonia vapor for a few minutes. These results suggested that such SA crystals could be applicable as switching materials or chemical sensors.
