Provided herein are sulfated compounds that are useful as high refractive index monomers for optical and other applications and methods for producing the same. The sulfated compounds are liquid at room temperature and exhibit good miscibility with other monomers. They are branched and can act as crosslinking agents, increasing the rigidity of the resulting polymers. They have low molecular weights and are useful in combinations with higher viscosity oligomers or crystalline monomers and to generate curable compositions. Also provided herein are high refractive index curable compositions produced from the sulfated compounds suitable for the production optical articles, including for coatings, gratings, and other surface features. Further provided are high refractive index nanocomposite materials made from the sulfated compounds and curable compositions. Also provided herein are articles and optical devices incorporating the curable compositions and nanocomposites described herein.
