Hybrid sol-gel TiO 2 /organosilica films doped with Cu(II), Fe(II), and Fe(III) phthalocyanines are excellent photocatalysts for the oxidative degradation of organics under visible light irradiation. The films show pronounced stability with the Fe(III)Pc-doped film showing the best performance in the gas-phase mineralization of 2-propanol. The versatile chemistry of both sol-gel materials and phthalocyanines will enable large improvement in terms of performance and technical adaptability of these new photocatalytic devices for future practical application. TiO 2 thin films are of high practical value since the immobilization of titanium dioxide significantly reduces some of the drawbacks of practical application of heterogeneous photocatalysis in suspension, including the need to separate the powder or the tendency of titania particles to agglomerate in water. 1 ORMOSIL (organically modified silicates) thin films, in their turn, have lately found application in fields as diverse as chemical (bio)sensing, optics, photolithography, catalysis, and OLEDs in electronic devices. 2 Similar thin functional coatings are attractive to industry since a small amount of hybrid material imparts improved properties at low cost. For instance, homo-geneous films of organosilica with thickness up to 1-10 µm can be prepared by the sol-gel method with a single dip-coated layer whereas other techniques such as spin-and spray-coating provide thinner films.
