heliochromism

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.HT07392
Applied to @P04589@ compounds possessing a high efficiency for colouring with near-@UT07492@ radiation and a low efficiency for @B00681@ with @VT07496@ radiation, but a moderate efficiency for thermal fading at ambient temperature. These compounds are activated by unfiltered sunlight and deactivated under diffuse daylight conditions, therefore being suitable for sun-lens applications.
