Abstract

Abstract : Two photochromic hybrid iodoargentates with adjustable photoresponsive mechanism have been synthesized and exhibit fast response and wide color range. Abstract : Two organic–inorganic iodoargentate hybrids, [(HPBI)·(MeCN)][Ag3 I4 ] (1 ) and [MPBI][Ag3 I4 ] (2 ) (HPBI + = 1-proton-2-phenylbenzimidazolium, MPBI + = 1, 3-dimethyl-2-phenylbenzimidazolium), have been synthesized. They exhibit structure-dependent photochromism with fast response and wide color range (from colorless to purple and dark green in1 and2, respectively), which are attributed to a substantially reversible photolysis for1 and dual photolysis and photoinduced secondary ET for2 .
