The synthesis and the photochromic properties of new photochromic 6,7‐ and 7,8‐benzoindene annellated benzopyrans are described. When compared to parent indeno‐fused 2H‐chromenes (2H‐[1]benzopyrans), compounds 10 and 12 exhibit a significant bathochromic shift of maximum‐absorption wavelength, an increase in the colorability, and similar fading rates.
