Abstract

Multi-stimuli-responsive materials have garnered widespread attention due to their exceptional potential in various applications, including optical anti-counterfeiting devices, sensor technology, and information storage materials. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of four polyoxometalates/viologens (POMs/Vios)-based compounds featuring remarkable color-changing performance, namely, [Zn₆(HL)₂(H₂O)₂₀(TeMo₆O₂₄)₃]·6H₂O (1), [Co₆(HL)₂(H₂O)₂₀(TeMo₆O₂₄)₃]·4H₂O (2), [Zn(TeMo₆O₂₄)(H₂O)₂]·L₂·6H₂O (3), [Co(TeMo₆O₂₄)(H₂O)₂]·L₂·6H₂O (4) (L·Cl₂ = 1,1′–[1,3–phenylenebis(methylene)] bis–(4,4′–bipyridine) dichloride). Compounds 1, 3, and 4 exhibit rapid and reversible photochromic properties, making them suitable for applications in erasable inkless printing and information storage. Furthermore, hydrogels based on these compounds can act as ultraviolet detectors. An innovative electrochromic (EC) hydrogel can be prepared by incorporating compounds 1–4 into polyacrylamide (PAAm). The integrated electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on EC hydrogel can precisely switch between the coloring and fading states through the precise control of different voltages. They are characterized by simple operation, high sensitivity, and low-voltage drive (ranging from –0.21 to –0.35 V). Additionally, compounds 1–4 act as highly efficient organic amine gas sensors. This work is anticipated to provide inspiration for the systematic design and development of diverse color-changing materials that respond to multiple external stimuli.

期刊介绍： Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science. The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments. Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate. Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to: Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences, Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy, Novel theoretical and computational methods, Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology, Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
