Abstract The formation of proton complexes of the photoinduced colored open form of naphthopyrans in solutions was first discovered and investigated by spectral-kinetic method. The complexes exhibit a new absorption band in the visible region, which is bathochromically shifted relative to the absorption band of the photoinduced colored open form. With an increase in the concentration of perchloric or hydrochloric acid, this long-wavelength absorption band appears immediately after the addition of acids to solutions of photochromic compounds. The protonation efficiency depends on the strength of the acids.
