Titanium phosphonate (TiOPPh: [Ti4(μ3-O)(OiPr)5(μ-OiPr)3(PhPO3)3]·thf) was synthesized. TiOPPh was mixed with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to prepare organic–inorganic hybrid polymer films. The film using PMMA was formed by the interaction between organic and inorganic components. The temperatures of 10% weight loss of TiOPPh–PMMA were 30 °C higher than that of PMMA only. The film using PVA was formed by the alcohol exchange reaction between TiOPPh and PVA. The transparency of TiOPPh-PVA in the visible region was higher than that of PVA only.
