Functional nanosized two-dimensional clay mineral particles are considered as ideal host materials to manipulate the properties of incorporated organic molecules due to their high cation exchange capacity, layer structure and intercalation properties. The interlayer height of clay layers can be manipulated by simultaneous wetting and drying steps. Here, we have studied the chromatic behaviour of an organic dye generatedin-situfrom 1,4-di-bis-indolylmethane-benzene in the interlayer space of synthetic saponite (SSA). Initially transparent, self-standing organo-clay hybrid films become red upon heating due to aerobic oxidation suggestingin-situgeneration of organic dye and increases the planarity of the intercalated organic molecules. Upon swelling the same hybrid film becomes yellow, due to the partial disturbance in the planarity of generated dye via C-C bond rotation. Simultaneous heating and swelling resulted in a reversible colour transition (clearly visible through the naked eye) between red and yellow for at least 30 cycles. This kind of system may have potential applications as a colorimetric sensor and in the field of optics (optical switching and optical memory etc).
