The kinetics of the formation of the photochromic forms B and C of tetramethyl‐dianthrone has been studied in triacetin and methylcyclohexane/2‐methylpentane at several temperatures. A flash spectroscopy method was developed, which allows the recording of the transient behaviour of the sample as function of both – wavelength and time – using a single photoflash for excitation. The results show that the photochromic forms B and C are directly populated from the excited singlet state. In addition a new triplet‐triplet absorption band in the near infrared region was detected.
