New photochromic 2,2-diphenyl-[2H]-chromenes 1-6 annellated with nitrogenated six-membered ring have been synthetized by optimized reaction of suitable metal phenolates and beta-phenyl cinnamaldehyde. All compounds exhibit photochromic behavior at room temperature. Chemical yields and photochromic characteristics depend significantly on the relative position of annellation on the chromenic moiety.
