“…One example is reported by N. Branda, [205] where three dithienylethene (DTE) derivatives providing the three primary colors are covalently linked to norbonene-based water-soluble monomers. Thus, a new family of multiaddressable photoresponsive copolymers is prepared by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP).…”

Research on hybrid inorganic‐organic materials has experienced an explosive growth since the 1980s, with the expansion of soft inorganic chemistry based processes. Indeed, mild synthetic conditions, low processing temperatures provided by “chimie douce” and the versatility of the colloidal state allow for the mixing of the organic and inorganic components at the nanometer scale in virtually any ratio to produce the so called hybrid materials. Today a high degree of control over both composition and nanostructure of these hybrids can be achieved allowing tunable structure‐property relationships. This, in turn, makes it possible to tailor and fine‐tune many properties (mechanical, optical, electronic, thermal, chemical…) in very broad ranges, and to design specific multifunctional systems for applications. In particular, the field of “Hybrid‐Optics” has been very productive not only scientifically but also in terms of applications. Indeed, numerous optical devices based on hybrids are already in, or very close, to the market. This review describes most of the recent advances performed in this field. Emphasis will be given to luminescent, photochromic, NLO and plasmonic properties. As an outlook we show that the controlled coupling between plasmonics and luminescence is opening a land of opportunities in the field of “Hybrid‐Optics”.

Herein, highlights from the recent literature regarding functional dye-polymer conjugates obtained by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) are presented and the different approaches to incorporate dyes during the initiation, propagation, and termination step in ROMP are discussed. Applications in the field of chemical sensors, bioimaging, electroactive materials, self-assembly, photochromic and photoreactive materials are used to illustrate the versatility of ROMP as a technique to prepare complex functional materials.

“…Wigglesworth and Branda have designed a series of copolymers (see Fig. 6.9), via ring-opening metathesis (ROMP) chemistry, whose colors were determined through appropriate blending of three diarylethene derivatives [31], which have potential application in the area of multibit optical storage.…”
