High pressure optical measurements have been made on two spiropyrans dissolved in films of polystyrene (PS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Three types of studies were made. (1) In the pressure region 30–140 kbars we observed pressure induced coloration (piezochromism) which was independent of time, rate of pressure application, or irradiation. The evidence favors a direct thermal transition between the uncolored and colored ground states. The volume change involved in the transition is of the order of 0.5–1.5 cm3/mol. (2) In the pressure range 8–40 kbars, it was demonstrated that pressure drastically reduced the efficienty of the photochromic process. This process proceeds via a triplet state of the uncolored molecule. With increasing pressure the energy of a triplet state increases with respect to the excited singlet state, which reduces the probability of intersystem crossing and therefore of formation of the colored species. (3) In the pressure range 0–10 kbars the rates of thermal bleaching were ...
