Abstract: A novel inorganic-organic nanocomposite film was prepared and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, XRD and DTA-TG. IR and UV-Vis spectra show that the Keggin structure of SiW 12O404- polyanion is preserved in the composite film and there is an interaction between H4SiW12O40 and the organic substrate. The composite film showed a reversible photochromism. Under UV irradiation, the composite film turns blue and charge transfer occurs by oxidation of R-NH3+ and reduction of SiW 12O404-. When the irradiated samples are placed in air and sheltered from the light, they change back to their original color, and recover again when being exposed to UV light.

Key words: Tungstosilicate acid, Sol-gel technique, Photochromism, Charge-transfer
