Abstract
The term “thermochromism” is defined and used rather loosely. Usually it implies a drastic change in color of a substance, or a system of substances, that takes place when it is heated up to a certain temperature or to a more or less well-defined temperature range. The change may be reversible, i. e., the original color may return upon cooling, or irreversible. Similar drastic changes in color, reversible or irreversible, are often observed when a substance or system is cooled down [1–3].
