* 14 Chapters reviewed by specialists working in the field
* Chapters are ordered from simple to more complex systems and techniques providing developments in the field and its future
* Of interest to a multidisciplinary audience working in confined nanostructures

Recenzje

"This book highlighting studies of photophysical, chemical, and biological processes in molecular cages, such as cyclodextrins, is significant and timely as this area of research has blossomed particularly over the past decade, with the advancement of new limits for time resolution and spectral sensitivity." --Prof. Ahmed H. Zewail, currently the Linus Pauling Chair Professor of Chemistry and Physics, and the Director of the Physical Biology Center for UST and the NSF Laboratory for Molecular Sciences (LMS), California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA. Professor Zewail was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering developments in the field of femtoscience.

O autorze

Abderrazzak Douhal has been studying the photochemistry and photophysics of composites using silica-based materials for many years. He published around 200 articles, and co-edited 3 books. He is serving in the editorial board of several international journals. For his work on the photochemistry of silica-based materials, he was awed by the International Association for Advanced Materials (2016), and by the Japanese Photochemistry Association (2018) for his work on the photochemistry of MOFs. For the last 3 decades, his research work focused on femtochemistry in liquids and confining media. His recent interest is deserved to elucidating the ultrafast spectroscopy and microscopy of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and applications of their composites to lighting and sensing.
