“…1,2,3 Microlasers, pigments, optical switches, or artificial antenna systems are only few of the possible applications of these fascinating systems. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 To date, different zeolites with suitable channel dimensions, such as AlPO4-5, 11,12 zeolite Y, 13 zeolite L, 14,15 as well as mesoporous materials like MCM-41, 16 have been successfully adopted as nanosized host matrices for the synthesis of these composites. In this rapidly evolving scenario, the inclusion of photoactive molecules into one-dimensional channel systems is of paramount relevance for further progress in some of the most challenging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology.…”
