G. Vandegoor et al., CHROMOPHORE ZEOTYPE COMPOSITES - DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF AN ARRAY OF STRICTLY ALIGNED METAL-ORGANIC COMPLEX CHROMOPHORES IN A CRYSTALLINE SILICA MATRIX, Advanced materials, 8(1), 1996, pp. 65
Chromophores embedded in zeolite-type hosts have potential application
s in optical devices. However, the conventional preparation results in
an inhomogeneous distribution of the chromophores. It is demonstrated
that direct synthesis can result in chromophore-zeolite composites wi
th well-defined stoichiometry and uniform chromophore distribution, as
illustrated for [Cocp2(+)F(-)]-NON in the figure.
