Nanostructured molecular films and nanoparticles with photoactivable functionalities†
Abstract
In the massively explored arena of the modern material science the creation of two- and three dimensional nanostructured molecular systems able to perform specific functions under light inputs is emerging as one of the most exciting research goals in the perspective of “intelligent” nanocomposite devices. In our laboratories we have been working on the design and fabrication of photoresponsive molecular thin films and
