<p>A chromene compound which develops a color of a neutral tint and has little initial coloration, high double peak characteristic and high color development sensitivity, rarely experiences the reduction of color optical density though it has high fading speed, is excellent in the durability of photochromic properties and can dissolve in a monomer composition which will become a substrate for optical articles in a high concentration, and a photochromic curable composition comprising the chromene compound and polymerizable monomers. The chromene compound is represented by the following formula (1).
(wherein R 3 at the 11-position is a second sulfur-containing substituent selected from the group consisting of thiol group, alkylthio group, alkoxyalkylthio group, haloalkylthio group, cycloalkylthio group, arylthio group, heteroarylthio group, sulfonyl group and sulfinyl group, R 1 and R 2 at the 6-position and the 7-position are a combination of an aryl group or a heteroaryl group and an electron donating group having a Hammett constant à p of -0.1 or less, or R 1 and/or R 2 is a first sulfur-containing substituent selected from thiol group, alkylthio group, alkoxyalkylthio group, haloalkylthio group, cycloalkylthio group, arylthio group and heteroarylthio group.).</p> |
