Amine- and amide-based hybrids

The examples provided in the previous two sections describe the emission properties governed by the emitting features of the embedded optically active dyes. Nevertheless, siloxane-based hybrids lacking the inclusion of external activator centers are able to emit white light, as described in this section. 

Silsesquioxanes with pendant dodecyl chains (Si-DDT) were produced as flexible films exhibiting a broad visible region with a maximum at 422 nm, in which
