Abstract
This review summarizes current knowledge on hybrid materials based on inorganic layered nanoparticles with functional dyes. Emphasis is placed on materials where organic dyes are the main components in terms of the material’s functionality. The review analyzes fundamental phenomena and the properties of these materials, such as metachromasy and dye molecular aggregation, photoactivity and luminescence, photochemistry, optical anisotropy, nonlinear optical and photochromic properties, structural changes and chemical reactions, resonance energy transfer, and photosensitization. The role of inorganic layered particles in the alteration of dye properties is broadly analyzed. Various types of hybrid materials and their relevance for research, materials science, and industry are briefly summarized.
