of materials with promising perspectives. We hope that this book entitled “Dyes and
Photoactive Molecules in Microporous Systems” attracts the attention of researchers
from the materials science and photochemistry fields and serves them as inspiration
for the development of new systems with important input, in terms of environment,
health, and well-being, into making this world a better place. In our humble opinion,
we envision a bright future for the hybrid materials presented in this book and many
others waiting to be explored.
Finally, we would like to thank all the authors for their valued scientific contributions, commitment, efforts, and patience. They are the main protagonists of this
book. Also, a special thanks to the publisher, Springer, for making this journey so
much easier. It was indeed a fruitful and rewarding experience.
