Abstract New nanocomposites materials have been synthesized. They present electrochemical and photochromic properties. They are based on a hybrid organic-inorganic network, in which tungsten heteropolyoxometalates (PW12O 40 3− , SiW12O 40 4− , W10O 32 4− , polymeric tungstate) are entrapped. High tungsten ratios could be reached and films or bulk materials have been obtained. The structure of these materials is described on the basis of multi-spectroscopic investigations (IR, EPR, NMR). Electrochemical redox reactions have been observed in thin films. Dark blue reversible coloration of the materials is obtained under UV irradiation. The photochromic mechanism has been investigated and shows the reversible formation of carbonyl group.
