RESUMO

In this study, polyoxometallate based hybrid photochromic materials were prepared by incorporating phosphotungstate anion, PW12O403−, (PW) in hybrid tetraethyl orthosilicate and (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane TEOS-GPTMS derived organomodified silicates (Ormosil) matrices by sol-gel method and the resulting materials were used to prepare multilayer films by dip-coating method. The effect of alkaline earth metal cations doping and matrix composition (%GPTMS) on the photochromic response of the hybrid films was studied in details. GPTMS, after undergoing ring opening reaction, leads to the formation of chelating sites (diol and ether functionalities) which helps in anchoring of cations, which in turn interacts with phosphotungstate anions and favors their incorporation in the hybrid films. For a fixed concentration of GPTMS, the cation-phosphotungstate electrostatic interaction and hence the photochromic response of the films follow the order Mg2+ < Ca2+ < Sr2+ < Ba2+, thereby, indicating that larger cations interact more strongly with the heteropolyanions. The presence of these cations and GPTMS concomitantly leads to increased incorporation of phosphotungstic acid hydrate (HPW) in the films, resulting in a significant enhancement of the photochromic response.
