It is presumed that the complex contains a hydrated proton and its structure is similar to that of the metal complex of a merocyanine-type isomer photoderived from SNO based on its UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra. The complex dissociated into SNO by adding base. The complex was further changed under acidic conditions after a long time. Highly concentrated acid decomposed SNO to an indoline compound having a carboxyl group and 1-amino-2-naphthol, which was revealed by fluorescence, IR, and GC-MS analyses. These reaction processes were promoted by UV irradiation., Article, JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY A-CHEMISTRY. 252:100-106 (2013)}, pages = {100--106}, title = {Reaction of spironaphthoxazine with acid}, volume = {252}, year = {2013} }
