In this work, synthesis and characterization of phenolphthalein-immobilized titania (T-phph) and silica–titania (ST-phph) nanomatrix is reported. The thin films are deposited by sol–gel method at low temperature. The effect of host–guest chemistry in matrices, on the surface structures, optical and...
