“…Indeed, the exploitation of active optical properties of photoactive coatings and systems is a strong emerging field. For example, hybrid materials with an excellent laser efficiency and good photostability, [22] very fast photochromic response, [23] very high and stable secondorder nonlinear optical response, [24] or acting as original pH sensors, [25] electroluminescent diodes, [26] or hybrid liquid crystals [27] have been reported in the past five years.…”

Functional hybrids are nanocomposite materials lying at the interface of organic and inorganic realms, whose high versatility offers a wide range of possibilities to elaborate tailor‐made materials in terms of chemical and physical properties. Because they present several advantages for designing materials for optical applications (versatile and relatively facile chemistry, easy shaping and patterning, materials having good mechanical integrity and excellent optical quality), numerous silica or/and siloxane based hybrid organic–inorganic materials have been developed in the past few years. The most striking examples of functional hybrids exhibiting emission properties (solid‐state dye lasers, rare‐earth doped hybrids, electroluminescent devices), absorption properties (photochromic), nonlinear optical (NLO) properties (second‐order NLO properties, photochemical hole burning (PHB), photorefractivity), and sensing are summarized in this review.

“…En el caso que nos ocupa, el resultado mas satisfactorio lo hemos alcanzado con la muestra híbrida P(HEMA/MMA 1/1+ 5%p TEOS), en cuyo caso la emisión láser se mantiene en el 76% de su valor inicial aún después de 60000 pulsos a una velocidad de repetición de 10Hz. Este resultado representa, según nuestro actual conocimiento del tema, la mejor fotoestabilidad láser alcanzada hasta la fecha para el colorante PM567 incorporado en matrices inorgánicas e híbridas, aún cuando éstas últimas hayan sido bombeadas en condiciones más favorables que en nuestro caso, es decir, por bombeo longitudinal y a más bajas velocidades de repetición (1 Hz) (15,21,23). Además, estos resultados suponen una mejora de los tiempos de vida láser del PM567 incorporado a matrices orgánicas, donde la emisión láser de este colorante disuelto en matrices entrecruzadas y lineales de MMA con diferentes co-monómeros y bombeadas bajo las mismas condiciones experimentales mantienen un 80% de emisión láser después de 45000 pulsos a una velocidad de repetición de 10Hz (27).…”

“…Así, se ha llevado a cabo la síntesis simultanea de nuevas matrices híbridas de metacrilato de metilo (MMA) y metacrilato de 2-hidroxietilo (HEMA) como componente orgánico, con diferentes proporciones en peso de tetraetoxisilano (TEOS) como componente inorgánico, a las que se les incorporó el pirrometeno 567 (PM567), como colorante, debido a la excelente eficiencia láser que presenta este colorante tanto en líquido como en sólido (16,21,22) y la buena estabilidad que presenta en materiales polímeros (22,23).…”

La síntesis de nuevos materiales de carácter híbrido (orgánico-inorgánico) dopados con colorantes resultan altamente atractivos como medio activo en láseres de estado sólido ya que permiten combinar las excelentes propiedades térmicas que presentan los vidrios inorgánicos con las excelentes propiedades ópticas que presentan los materiales polímeros. Mediante un proceso simultaneo de policondensación sol-gel y de polimerización de la parte orgánica (monómero vinílico ó acrílico con grupos OH), de forma que los grupos -OH del monómero orgánico participen también en el proceso de policondensación, hemos conseguido obtener monolitos válidos para su aplicación como láseres de colorante en estado sólido. Se ha llevado a cabo la síntesis y caracterización de nuevas matrices híbridas incorporando pirrometeno 567 como colorante láser (PM567); combinando polímeros de metacrilato de 2-hidroxietilo (HEMA) y copolímeros de HEMA y metacrilato de metilo (MMA) con diferentes proporciones en peso respecto al componente inorgánico (TEOS). Los primeros resultados obtenidos con estos nuevos materiales demuestran que la presencia de pequeñas proporciones de TEOS en copolímeros de p(HEMA/MMA 1/1) aumentan la estabilidad térmica del colorante mejorando significativamente su acción láser. De hecho, algunos de los resultados alcanzados con estos nuevos materiales mejoran, significativamente, las fotoestabilidades alcanzadas para el PM567 incorporado en otras matrices inorgánicas e híbridas, así como en muchas de las matrices orgánicas seleccionadas como hospedadores para este colorante. Palabras Clave: híbrido orgánico-inorgánico, polímero híbrido, láser de colorante en estado sólido, láser, pirrometeno 567. Synthesis of new photosensitive organic-inorganic hybrid materials used as solid state dye laserThe synthesis of new materials of hybrid character (organic-inorganic) doped with dyes results highly attractive like active medium in solid state laser in which the excellent thermal properties of the inorganic glasses with the excellent optic properties of the polymeric materials could be combined. Through a simultaneous synthesis process of sol-gel policondensation of the inorganic TEOS during the free radical polymerization of the organic part (vinylic or acrylic monomers with OH groups), since the presence of this -OH side groups in the organic monomer can participate in the policondensation process of silanols, hybrids monoliths were able to be obtained as solid-state dye laser matrices. The synthesis and characterization of new hybrid matrices were carried out incorporating pirromethene 567 (PM567) into polymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and copolymers of HEMA and methyl methacrylate (MMA) with different weight proportions of the inorganic component, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The first results obtained with this new materials are indicave that the addition of low proportions of TEOS into the polymer P(HEMA/MMA 1/1) increases its thermal stability reducing the thermal degradation of the dye and, consequently, improving s...

a b s t r a c tA new hybrid material [Zn 3 O 3 (C 13 H 14 N 2 ) 3 ]V 6 O 15 (1) with extended framework structure has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by vibrational spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and complete single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound has a complex three-dimensional covalent framework structure. It exhibits a fully oxidized novel oxometallic framework containing 10-membered {V 4 ZnO 5 } oxometalate rings and 4,4 0 -trimethylene dipyridine ligands (C 13 H 14 N 2 ) that connect pairs of crystallographically equivalent zinc atoms. The extended structure of 1 may also be viewed as containing a framework of corner-sharing {VO 4 } and {ZnO 2 N 2 } polyhedra together with 4,4'-trimethylene dipyridine ligands linking zinc centers. The hybrid material is thermally stable up to 323°C. It contains metal centers and coordination geometry that make it a potentially attractive model compound for investigating the structures of metallo-organic biomolecules by use of solid state NMR spectroscopic techniques. Design and synthesis of functional materials has attracted considerable attention in recent years [1]. This has led to a new class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials with rich topological diversity and potential applications in catalysis, gas storage, sorption and photochemistry [2][3][4][5]. Hybrid materials have shown excellent laser efficiencies and photostabilities [6], fast photochromic responses [7], as well as high and stable optical responses [8]. These materials can also be used as pH sensors [9] and many of them have shown attractive gas storage capacity [10][11][12][13][14].We have been interested in the design and synthesis of inorganic-organic hybrid framework materials by combining metalorganic moieties and oxometalate motifs. We have successfully employed synthetic strategies using metal-organic complexes as linkers to cross-link vanadium oxide chains and layers to generate a series of open-framework hybrids and neutral networks. The metal-organic complex also provides the charge balance required to generate a neutral framework [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In this approach the organic components act as ligands to secondary transition metal centers giving rise to bimetallic, organically templated hybrid materials. Here we report a new hybrid material containing a novel oxometallic framework [Zn 3 O 3 (C 13 H 14 N 2 ) 3 ]V 6 O 15 (1) which was prepared hydrothermally and characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, manganometric titration, thermogravimetric analysis and complete single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.A mixture of NH 4 VO 3 (1 mmol), 4,4 0 -tmdp (1 mmol), ZnSO 4 Á 7H 2 O (0.5 mmol), C 2 H 5 OH (85.76 mmol, 5 ml), H 2 O (555.5 mmol, 10 ml) was placed in a 23 ml teflon-lined Parr reaction vessel and stirred continuously for 10 min. The reaction mixture (pH = 5.1) was then treated hydrothermally at 125°C for 5 days. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature for 24 h and colorless crystals of 1, which were covered with a black shiny impuri...
