Abstract
Abstract Colorless crystals of 5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyisophthalaldehyde change to an orange-red color upon brief exposure to UV–vis radiation (λ > 300 nm). The colored crystals revert to colorless in the dark. X-ray diffraction revealed different packing patterns for the crystals of nonphotochromic and photochromic compounds.
