Synthesis of new asymmetric bis-spiropyrans of indoline series based on 6,8-diformyl-5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin was realized. Depending on the nature of the substituents in positions 1 and 5 of the indoline moiety the derived compounds may exist in solution in the spiro or merocyanine forms, or as a tautomeric mixture of these forms. UV irradiation of the cyclic forms leads to photocoloring associated with re-opening of one or both of the spiro moieties. The wide variability of spectral kinetic properties of bis-spiropyrans upon fluorescence of photoinduced forms allows one to consider them as molecular switches having absorptive and fluorescent signal functions with the possibility of practical application.
