Solvent and pressure dependence of the energy profile for the thermal fading of a merocyanine formed from a spironaphthoxazine
Activation volumes, activation enthalpies and activation entropies were measured for the thermal fading of a merocyanine formed from a spironaphthoxazine in methyl acetate and ethanol. All of the activation parameters clearly demonstrated that the energy profile was different in these two solvents.
