✦ Synopsis

Following to the recent development of the organic-templated growth of materials, new types of photonic hybrid composite materials have emerged whose structure and function are organized hierarchically. Ordered, periodic mesoscopic materials allow the construction of composites with many types of guest, such as organic molecules or polymers. These host-guest materials combine the high stability of the inorganic host system, a new structure-forming mechanism due to the confinement of guests in well-defined
