Für Dihydropyrene ist die 6 pi Elektrozyklisierung für gewöhnlich schnell, wohingegen die Cycloreversion durch eine Aktivierungsbarriere im angeregten Zustand ineffizient wird. Die Substitution mit Donor- und Akzeptorgruppen erzeugt ein „push-pull“ System, welches eine bathochrome Verschiebung der Absorption in den tief roten Bereich (730 nm onset) zur Folge hat. Das „push-pull” System polarisiert den Dihydropyrenkern, was ein Absenken der Aktivierungsbarriere im angeregten Zustand zur Folge hat und in einer erhöhten Quantenausbeute resultiert. Es wird weiter gezeigt, wie dies in nicht-permanenter Art und Weise durch Katalyse vollzogen werden kann, indem eine protonierte Spezies mit einer geringeren Aktivierungsbarriere im angeregten Zustand gebildet wird. Da Dihydropyrene im sichtbaren Bereich absorbieren und im Allgemeinen als T-Typ negativ photochrom betrachtet werden, ist ein Schalten ohne die Verwendung von UV Licht möglich. Für die Substanzklasse der Azobenzole wird ein neuer aromatischer Substituent anstelle eines der Phenylreste untersucht. Die Bandenseparation von bis zu 80 nm erlaubt hohe photostationäre Zustände von ≈ 90 % für beide Richtungen. Die hohen Extinktionskoeffizienten von ≈ 20000 L mol 1cm 1 für das E Isomer, führen zu einer gesteigerten Absorption im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Azobenzolen. Weiterhin kann die Löslichkeit der Verbindungen, durch die Wahl des Gegenions moduliert werden, was es ermöglicht in Tetrahydrofuran, Acetonitril, Wasser, sowie einer ionischen Flüssigkeit zu schalten. Mit höherer Polarität des Lösungsmittels wird die Absorptionsbande des E Isomers zu längeren Wellenlängen hin verschoben und die thermischen Rückreaktion beschleunigt. Die thermische Halbwertzeit der Rückreaktion kann zwischen 3 min und 13 h bei 25 °C eingestellt werden. Ebenso wurde auch das Schaltverhalten einer Azoniumspezies untersucht und eine erstaunlich lange thermische Halbwertzeit von > 2 min beobachtet. / For the dihydropyrene system 6 pi electrocyclization is usually fast, while the cycloreversion is inefficient, due to an activation barrier in the excited state. It is shown, how substitution with donor and acceptor moieties creates a push-pull system, causing a bathochromic shift of the absorption spectrum to the far red (730 nm onset). The push-pull system induces a dipole in the dihydropyrene, which lowers its excited state activation barrier and therefore increases the quantum yield of the cycloreversion. Further it is shown, how this can be performed in a catalytic fashion, where protonation leads to a species with a lower barrier in the excited state. As dihydropyrenes absorb in the visible and are considered as T-type negative photochromic, they can be switched without the use of UV-light. In case of the azobenzene class, a new aromatic substitute for one of the benzene rings is investigated and shows superior switching properties. Band separation of up to 80 nm is shown, along with high photostationary states ≈ 90% favoring each of the two switching directions. Interestingly, the extinction coefficient especially of the E isomer increases to ≈ 20000 L mol-1cm-1, dramatically enhancing the absorptivity compared to normal azobenzenes. Furthermore, the solubility can be tuned by proper choice of the cation, which is used to investigate solvent effects in nonpolar, polar, and protic (water) solvents as well as in an ionic liquid. With increasing polarity, the absorbance of the E isomer is shifted to longer wavelengths, which is accompanied by a reduced thermal half-life. The half-life of the thermal reverse reaction can be tuned from 3 min to 13 h at ambient temperature. As one of the derivatives is easily protonated, switching of the corresponding azonium species has also been investigated and an astoundingly long thermal half-life of > 2 min at room temperature has been observed.

This Thesis describes the systematic theoretical study aimed at prediction of the essential properties for the functional organic molecules that belong to diarylethene (DA) family of compounds. Diarylethenes present the distinct ability to change color under the influence of light, known as photochromism. This change is due to ultrafast chemical transition from open to closed ring isomers (photocyclization). It can be used for optical data storage, photoswitching, and other photonic applications. In this work we apply Density Functional Theory methods to predict 6 of the related properties: (i) molecular geometry; (ii) resonant wavelength; (iii) thermal stability; (iv) fatigue resistance; (v) quantum yield and (vi) nanoscale organization of the material. In order to study sensitivity at diode laser wavelengths, we optimized geometry and calculated vertical absorption spectra for a benchmark set of 28 diarylethenes. Bond length alternation (BLA) parameters and maximum absorption wavelengths (λmax) are compared to the data presently available from X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy experiments. We conclude that TD-M05/6-31G*/PCM//M05-2X/6-31G*/PCM level of theory gives the best agreement for both the parameters. For our predictions the root mean square deviation (RMSD) are below 0.014 Å for the BLAs and 25 nm for λmax. The polarization functions in the basis set and solvent effects are both important for this agreement. Next we consider thermal stability. Our results suggest that UB3LYP and UM05-2X functionals predict the activation barrier for the cycloreversion reaction within 3-4 kcal/mol from experimental value for a set of 7 photochromic compounds. We also study thermal fatigue, defined as the rate of undesirable photochemical side reactions. In order to predict the kinetics of photochemical fatigue, we investigate the mechanism of by-product formation. It has been established experimentally that the by-product is formed from the closed isomer; however the mechanism was not known. We found that the thermal by-product pathway involves the bicyclohexane (BCH) ring formation as a stable intermediate, while the photochemical by-product formation pathway may involve the methylcyclopentene diradical (MCPD) intermediate. At UM05-2X/6-31G* level, the calculated barrier between the closed form and the BCH intermediate is 51.2 kcal/mol and the barrier between the BCH intermediate and the by-product 16.2 kcal/mol. Next we investigate two theoretical approaches to the prediction of quantum yield (QY) for a set of 14 diarylethene derivatives at the validated M05-2X/6-31G* theory level. These include population of ground-state conformers and location of the pericycylic minimum on the potential energy surface 2-A state. Finally, we investigate the possibility of nanoscale organization of the photochromic material based on DNA template, as an alternative to the amorphous polymer matrix. Here we demonstrate that Molecular Dynamic methods are capable to describe the intercalation of π-conjugated systems between DNA base pairs and accurately reproduced the available photophysical properties of these nanocomposites. In summary, our results are in good agreement with the experimental data for the benchmark set of molecules we conclude that Density Functional Theory methods could be successfully used as an important component of material design strategy in prediction of accurate molecular geometry, absorption spectra, thermal stability of isomers, fatigue resistance, quantum yield of photocyclization and photophysical properties of nanocomposites.

Yes / Derivatives of fulgides have been shown to have interesting photochromic properties. We have synthesised a number of such derivatives and have found, in some cases, that crystals can be made to change colour on crushing, a phenomenon we have termed "tribochromism". We have studied a number of derivatives by X-ray crystallography, to see if the colour is linked to molecular structure or crystal packing, or both, and our structural results have been supported by calculation of molecular and lattice energies. A number of 5-dicyanomethylene-4-diphenylmethylene-3-disubstitutedmethylene-tetrahydrofuran-2 -one compounds have been prepared and structurally characterised. The compounds are obtained as yellow or dark red crystals, or, in one case, both. In two cases where yellow crystals were obtained, we found that crushing the crystals gave a deep red powder. Structure determinations, including those of the one compound which gave both coloured forms, depending on crystallisation conditions, showed that the yellow crystals contained molecules in which the structure comprised a folded conformation at the diphenylmethylene site, whilst the red crystals contained molecules in a twisted conformation at this site. Lattice energy and molecular conformation energies were calculated for all molecules, and showed that the conformational energy of the molecule in structure IIIa (yellow) is marginally higher, and the conformation thus less stable, than that of the molecule in structure IIIb (red). However, the van der Waals energy for crystal structure IIIa, is slightly stronger than that of structure IIIb - which may be viewed as a hint of a metastable packing preference for IIIa, overcome by the contribution of a more stabilising Coulomb energy to the overall more favourable lattice energy of structure IIIb. Our studies have shown that the crystal colour is correlated with one of two molecular conformations which are different in energy, but that the less stable conformation can be stabilised by its host crystal lattice.

The synthesis of benzo[e]dimethyldihydropyrene (BDHP) photoswitches with ter-27, quarter-36, and quinque-28 thiophene oligomers attached on the same side of the switch was achieved using Stille coupling reactions. BDHP photoswitches with bi-75, ter-76 and quinque-77 thiophene oligomers attached directly to the switch on one side, and via a carbonyl spacer on the opposite side of the switch were also synthesized. Dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP) photoswitches with a naphthoyl functional group in the 2 position were synthesized using a Friedel Crafts reaction, and ter-96, quinque-97 and septi-98 thiophene oligomers were attached on opposite sides of the switch using Stille coupling reactions. All compounds were characterized by NMR, IR UV-vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The relative rates of the photo-opening reactions under excess light conditions and the UV closing reactions versus BDHP were measured. Improvements in the photo-opening properties of the oligothiophene functionalized switches compared to BDHP were observed. The most dramatic photo-opening improvement was found for the quinquethienyl substituted DHP switch 97 which photo-opened when irradiated with visible light over 100 times faster than BDHP. UV closing rates were virtually the same as that of BDHP. However the addition of oligothiophenes led to an increase in the thermal closing reaction rates. Compounds with the naphthoyl functional group in the 2 position of DHP were found to have dramatically increased thermal closing rates. The electrochemical properties of oligothiophene functionalized BDHP and naphthoyl functionalized DHP switches in the closed form were studied by cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. During the oxidation cycle, a closing reaction from the cyclophanediene (CPD) form to the DHP form of the switches occurred which prevented the study of the electrochemical properties of the switches in the open form. Conductivity testing was performed on the quinquethienyl substituted DHP switch 97 using a gold interdigitated micro electrode array. The conductivity of undoped 97 was greater in the closed DHP isomer than in the open CPD isomer. Irradiation with red or blue light allowed for repetitive switching between the more highly conducting closed form and the less conducting open form. When electrochemically doped, 97 showed improved conductivity over the undoped form but only the conductivity of the closed doped form could be measured due to electrochemically induced closing.

Les chromènes photochromiques sont largement utilisés dans les technologies modernes en raison de leur capacité à changer les propriétés sous irradiation UV. Les chromènes présentés dans ce travail possèdent en outre des fragments pouvant participer à la coordination avec des cations métalliques, acides aminés, ou de l'ADN. Pour ce type de molécule, l'interdépendance éventuelle entre les propriétés photochromiques et complexantes permet d'envisager soit le photo-contrôle de la complexation, soit la modulation du photochromisme par le biais de coordination.Ce travail est divisé en deux parties : la première est consacrée à la préparation des molécules cibles et la seconde à l'étude de la complexation. Les approches synthétiques élaborées ont permis d'obtenir une série de nouveaux chromènes annelés par des éthers couronnes de taille et de composition hétéroatomique différentes. Le processus de complexation de certains dérivés a été étudié en détail par spectroscopie RMN et absorptionUV-Visible. Il a été établi que la nature des cations métalliques détermine la stoechiométrie du complexe formé ainsi que la structure spatiale. Pour tous les composés étudiés, la complexation affecte les paramètres photochromiques notamment la vitesse de décoloration. En ce qui concerne la complexation des chromènes synthétisés avec les acides aminés protonés, il a été établi qu'en fonction de la longueur de chaine de ces acides, la formation de complexe mono- ou ditopique est favorisée.De plus, l'interaction d'un nouveau chromène cationique avec l'ADN a été étudiée. Il a été constaté que contrairement à la forme initiale, la forme colorée de ce composé générée sous irradiation UV permet l'intercalation au sein de l'ADN / Photochromic chromenes are widely used in modern technologies due to their abilityto change their properties upon UV irradiation. The chromenes presented in this work alsopossess fragments able to participate to the coordination with metal cations, amino acids, orDNA. These properties may sustain mutual influence on each other resulting in either photocontrolof complexing ability or photochromism tunable by complex formation.This work is divided in two parts, one devoted to the synthesis of the targetcompounds and the second to study on the complexing ability of the substances,respectively. Thus, the synthetic approaches to photochromic benzo- and naphthopyrans,annelated to the crown ether moieties of different size and heteroatomic composition, weredeveloped. The complex formation of several chromenes with metal cations wasinvestigated by means of UV-Vis absorption and NMR spectroscopies. The metal cationnature was found to determine the stoichiometry of the complexes as well as their spatialstructure. The complex formation was found to affect the photochromic properties of thecompounds, especially the bleaching rate. Investiga.on of complexation of the chromeneswith protonated amino acids revealed that, depending on the length of the carbon chain ofthe acid used, mono- or ditopic complexes may be formed.The interaction of the new chromene, possessing a positively charged group, with DNAwas also studied. In contrast to the initial form, the photo-induced colored form was foundto intercalate with DNA.

Filmes híbridos fotoativos de Ormosil (silicatos organicamente modificados) contendo o polioxometalato de Keggin ácido fosfotungstico (H3PW12O40) e cátions Ag+ foram preparados por meio da rota sol-gel e deposição de filme por dip-coating. A caracterização por FTIR, Raman, XRF e DRX evidenciou a formação da matriz de organossilicato e o aprisionamento dos poliânions PW12O403- e cátions Ag+. O comportamento fotocrômico dos filmes de Ormosil-fosfotungstato baseiam-se na redução fotoinduzida do fosfotungstato por exposição à radiação UV, o que leva à formação de compostos coloridos de valência mista conhecidos como heteropolyblues. No entanto, a presença de cátions Ag+ altera completamente o comportamento fotocrômico destes filmes híbridos. Os poliânions de fosfotungstato fotorreduzidos são agentes redutores eficientes na redução dos cátions Ag+, resultando na formação in situ de nanopartículas de prata metálica na matriz híbrida como evidenciado pela intensa banda plasmônica centrada em 390 nm no espectro eletrônico da amostra. A caracterização por Uv-vis e Espectroscopia de Absorção de Raios X próxima a Borda de Absorção (XANES) mostrou que a foto-redução pode ser revertida por tratamento térmico o que caracteriza um comportamento fotocrômico reversível. O comportamento cinético da amostra foi analisado propondo mecanismos para as reações de redução e oxidação da prata, responsáveis pela alteração de coloração do material. O aprisionamento de compostos fotoativos em matrizes híbridas orgânico-inorgânico via sol-gel é uma estratégia interessante para a preparação de materiais fotocrômicos com potenciais aplicações tecnológicas. A reversibilidade fotocrômica destes materiais os torna bons candidatos para aplicação em sistemas de memória óptica, filtros óticos de passa-banda estreita, dispositivos de ótica não linear, sensores de radiação UV e revestimentos bactericidas. / Sol gel entrapment of photoactive compounds in organic-inorganic hybrid matrices is an interesting strategy for the preparation of photochromic materials with potential technological applications. In this study, we report the preparation of photoactive Ormosil (organically modified silicates) hybrid films containing the Keggin polyoxometalate phosphotungstate (H3PW12O40) and Ag+ cations by sol-gel synthesis and dip coating deposition. The materials have been characterized by infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), thus evidencing the formation of hybrid organosilicate matrix and the entrapment of the PW12O40-3 polyanions and Ag+ cations. The photochromic behavior of the Ormosil-phosphotungstate films is based on photoinduced reduction of phosphotungstate upon exposure to UV radiation, which leads to the formation of colored mixed valence compounds known as heteropolyblues. However, the presence of Ag+ cations completely changes the photochromic behavior of these hybrid films. The photoreduced phosphotungstate polyanions rapidly promote the reduction of Ag+ cations, resulting in the in situ formation of silver metal nanoparticles (Ag0) inside the hybrid matrix as evidenced by the intense plasmonic band centered at 390nm as shown by electronic, UV-vis, spectroscopy and its yellowish color. The Uv-vis and X-ray Near Edge Absorption Spectroscopy (XANES) characterization shown that this process is reversible and the yellowish color characteristic of the metallic silver nanoparticles disappears once the hybrid films are heated at 353 K. Thus, the coloration is achieved upon UV exposure and discoloration occurs upon simple heating. Therefore, the described photoactive properties, the prepared hybrid films have potential application in optical memory systems, single bandpass optical filters, non-linear optical devices, UV radiation sensors and bactericidal coatings.

As antocianinas compreendem o maior conjunto de pigmentos solúveis em água do reino vegetal. A absorção da luz por estes compostos, responsáveis pelas cores vermelha, azul e roxa da maioria das frutas e flores, é produto de combinações de vários fatores, como o número de substituintes, a presença ou não de outras moléculas capazes de estabilizar a cor (“co-pigmentos"), o pH local do meio e a natureza do microambiente em que a antocianina se encontra. A reatividade química e fotoquímica das antocianinas já é relativamente complexa em solução aquosa na ausência de micelas, onde cada um dos processos químicos e fotoquímicos ocorre numa faixa de tempo distinta. Uma forma de se diminuir o número de espécies em solução é o emprego de antocianinas sintéticas com estruturas simplificadas, conhecidas como sais de flavílio, cuja variação no número, posição e tipo químico de substituinte permite um certo controle sobre as frações molares das espécies. Neste estudo procurou-se compreender os processos que regem o equilíbrio ácido-base e a hidratação do cátion flavílio em ambiente micelar. Estes dois processos exercem um papel central na estabilização da cor em antocianinas. Foram utilizados três sais de flavílio: o 4-carboxi-7-hidroxi-4\'-metoxiflavílio (CHMF), o 2-fenilbenzopirílio e o 4\'-metoxiflavílio. Os dois grupos ionizáveis do CHMF possuem pKas distintos (pKa1 = 0,73; pKa2 = 4,84), cujas dinâmicas de protonação/desprotonação são influenciadas pelas micelas de SDS de modos diferentes. O cátion é estabilizado preferencialmente pelas micelas aniônicas em relação ao zwitterion (pKa1SDS = 2,77), que por sua vez é mais favorecido que a base quinonoidal (pKa2SDS = 5,64). A estabilização do cátion está relacionada com as fortes interações eletrostáticas entre a espécie e a micela carregada negativamente. A base quinonoidal, que no caso específico do CHMF tem carga negativa, é desfavorecida em relação ao zwitterion. Adicionalmente, em SDS praticamente não se observa hidrólise da espécie zwitteriônica. Com relação ao 2-fenilbenzopirílio (pKw = 3,01) e o 4\'-metoxiflavílio (pKw = 4,47), a primeira observação feita é que a inclusão do grupo metoxi na posição C4\' estabiliza o cátion flavílio, diminuindo a extensão da hidrólise por meio de transferência de carga para o anel central. O efeito de estabilização do cátion pelo ambiente micelar, verificado pelo aumento do pKw, é mais pronunciado no 2-fenilbenzopirílio (pKwSDS = 4,73) do que no 4\'-metoxiflavílio (pKwSDS = 5,05). Os processos cinéticos mostram que a reação de hidratação (kw) do flavílio sem substituintes diminui 65 vezes em SDS, enquanto que a reação no sentido inverso se mantém dentro da mesma ordem de magnitude. Já no caso do 4\'-metoxiflavílio, foi verificado que ambas as constantes de velocidade aumentam, mas a constante de desidratação do hemicetal (k-w), que depende da concentração de prótons, é a mais afetada, aumentando cerca de 15 vezes. Este fato é um indicativo de que o pH na interface micelar é o fator de estabilização do cátion do 4\'-metoxiflavílio. Adicionalmente foram feitos cálculos computacionais de transições eletrônicas, pKa e potenciais de redução em nível ab initio para um conjunto cátions flavílios e respectivas bases quinonoidais. Os valores de pKa calculados apresentaram um desvio médio de +/- 0,5 unidade de pKa. / Anthocyanins comprise the major water-soluble pigment group in the Plant Kingdom. Light absorption by these compounds is responsible for the diverse colors in many flowers and fruits and can be modulated by phenomena such as self-association of flavylium cations or anhydrobases, copigmentation with other polyphenols and flavonoids, complexation with metal ions, incorporation of anthocyanins into microaggregates like micelles and the pH of the medium. The chemical and photochemical reactivity of anthocyanins is quite complex in aqueous solution and each process occurs in a different time range. The use of structurally simplified synthetic flavylium salts permits a certain control over the mole fractions of the various species in solution. In this study we used the synthetic flavylium ions 4-carboxy-7-hydroxy-4\'-methoxyflavylium (CHMF), 2-phenylbenzopyrylium and 4´-methoxyflavylium to investigate the main processes that influence the acid-base equilibrium and hydration of the flavylium cation in micellar environments. Such reactions play a central role in color stabilization of anthocyanins. CHMF has two ionizable groups with distinct pKas (pKa1 = 0,73; pKa2 = 4,84), and the protonation/deprotonation dynamics of these groups are affected differently by SDS micelles. The results show that SDS micelles stabilize the cationic form rather than the zwitterion (pKa1SDS = 2,77), which is favored relative to the quinonoidal base (pKa2SDS = 5,64). The preferential stabilization of the cation is related to electrostatic interactions of this form with the anionic micelle. The quinonoidal base, which in the specific case of CHMF is an anion, is disfavored relative to the zwitterion. In addition, the hydrolysis of the zwitterionic form is substantially reduced in micellar SDS solutions. The comparison of 2-phenylbenzopyrylium (pKw = 3,01) and 4´-methoxyflavylium (pKw = 4,47) shows that the methoxy group at the C4´ position stabilizes the cationic form, reducing the hydration by charge transfer to the central ring. The stabilization of the cationic form by the micellar environment, which is reflected in the increase of the pKw, is more pronounced for the 2-phenylbenzopyrylium cation (pKwSDS = 4,73) than for 4´-methoxyflavylium (pKwSDS = 5,05). Kinetic studies of the 2-phenylbenzopyrylium ion in SDS indicate a 65-fold reduction in the hydration rate constant (kw), while the inverse reaction has the same magnitude as in water. In the case of the 4´-methoxyflavylium ion, both rate constants associated with the equilibrium between the flavylium cation and hemicetal increased. However, the [H+]-dependent rate constant for dehydration of the hemicetal is affected to a greater extent, increasing about 15 fold, indicating stabilization of the 4\'-methoxyflavylium cation by the micellar interface. Finally, computational calculations were performed at the ab initio level for several flavylium cations and anhydrobases to estimate the electronic transitions, pKa and reduction potentials. The quality of the calculated pKa results were compared with experimental data and the mean absolute deviation is +/- 0.5 pKa unit.

O emprego de TiO2, na qualidade de semicondutor mais comumente utilizado em fotocatálise heterogênea adquire relevância, devido à sua eficiência na decomposição de poluentes da água, do ar, bactérias, células cancerígenas e na degradação de compostos orgânicos tóxicos. Este trabalho investigou a correlação entre as propriedades fotocrômicas e fotocatalíticas de fibras e dos filmes de TiO2, e de TiO2 dopados com H2WO4 e Na2WO4.2H2O. Para a síntese de fibras por electrospinning os reagentes utilizados foram: ácido acético glacial, propóxido de titânio, polivinilpirrolidona 10%, ácido túngstico e tungstato de sódio di hidratado. As fibras obtidas foram tratadas termicamente entre 650 ºC e 800 ºC, com patamar de 1 hora e taxa de aquecimento de 1,4 °C/min. Para obtenção dos filmes por spin-coater foram peparadas soluções contendo: 0,25 g de fibras tratadas entre 650 ºC e 800 ºC, etanol anidro, acetilacetona, Triton X-100 e polivinilbitiral. As amostras foram caracterizadas por difração de raios X (DRX), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e de transmissão (MET), análise termogravimétrica (TGA) e termo-diferencial (ATD), espectroscopia de reflectância difusa (ERD), perfilometria, teoria Brunnauer Emmet e Teller (BET), ensaios de degradação de 125 mL de uma solução 20 ppm do corante alaranjado de metila e colorimetria através do sistema CIELa*b*. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos com as amostras deTiO2∕Na2WO4.2H2O. Estas amostras foram mais eficientes na mineralização do corante alaranjado de metila, pois 3 das 4 amostras sintetizadas degradaram aproximadamente 100% do corante e simultaneamente expressaram os maiores valores de reflectância, possivelmente devido a existência de uma sincronização entre as características químicas e físicas destes óxidos e a formação de defeitos pontuais (vacâncias) que ocupam posições atômicas de rede. / The use of TiO2 as the most commonly used semiconductor in heterogeneous photocatalysis becomes relevant because of its efficiency in the decomposition of pollutants from water, air, bacteria, cancer cells and the degradation of toxic organic compounds. This work investigated the correlation between the photocatalytic and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 and TiO2 fibers and TiO2 doped with H2WO4 and Na2WO4.2H2O. For the synthesis of fibers by electrospinning the reagents used were: glacial acetic acid, titanium propoxide, 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone, tungstic acid and sodium tungstate dihydrate. The obtained fibers were heat treated between 650 °C and 800 °C, with a 1 hour threshold and a heating rate of 1.4 °C/min. To obtain the films by spin-coater were prepared solutions containing: 0.25 g of treated fibers between 650 ºC and 800 ºC, anhydrous ethanol, acetylacetone, Triton X-100 and polyvinylbutyral. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission (TEM), thermogravimetric (TGA) and thermo-differential analysis (DTA), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (ERD), profilometry, Brunnauer Emmet and Teller (BET) theory, 125 ml degradation assays of a 20 ppm solution of methyl orange dye and colorimetry through the system CIELa*b*. The best results were obtained with TiO2/Na2WO4.2H2O samples. These samples were more efficient in the methyl orange dye mineralization, since 3 of the 4 synthesized samples degraded approximately 100% of the dye and simultaneously expressed the highest values of reflectance, possibly due to the existence of a synchronization between the chemical and physical characteristics of these oxides and the formation of point defects (vacancies) that occupy atomic network positions.
