A Styrene-derived polymer having pendent phenoxyanthraquinones for photochromism was prepared by AIBN-initiated radical polymerization.
Synthesis of the monomers was straightforward and the polymer was obtained in 65% yield.
Photoinduced rearrangement from the ¡°trans¡± quinone forms to the ¡°ana¡± quinone forms readily occurred both in solution and in film when the polymer was irradiated with UV light.
