Hybrid thin films composed of block copolymer(BCP) and $TiO_2$ with various morphologies on the nanoscale were fabricated using self-assembly of block copolymer combined with sol-gel process. The factors governing morphology changes considered in this study are block copolymer composition, selectivity of solvent and the inclusion of an additive. We also investigated the efficiency of photoluminescence for selected films with different morphologies. Micelle or nanowire structure can be derived from the self-assembly of poly (styrene-block-4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) depending on the relative selectivity of the solvent for the two blocks, and the titanium tetraisopropoxide ($Ti{OCH (CH_3)_2}_4$, TTIP) is coordinated with nitrogen in P4VP block. Addition of a third component 3-pentadecylphenol into the BCP/sol-gel mixture solution induces morphology change as a result of the change of relative volume fraction of the BCP. We confirmed that the efficiency of $TiO_2$ fluorescence changes for films depending on morphologies.

The capacity factor of fifteen phenol derivatives was determined with respect to the concentration of ${\alpha}$- or ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin [CD], the type as well as the content of organic solvent in the mobile phase, and the temperature. The effect of the inclusion complex formation between solutes and ${\alpha}$- or ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin on their retention and selectivity has been investigated. The inclusion effect of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin was the most effective in aqueous methanol, whereas only a poor effect was observed in aqueous tetrahydrofuran and aqueous acetonitrile. A plot of the reciprocal of the capacity factor against $[CD]_T$ gives a straight line and the dissociation constant, $K_D$ of the inclusion complex can be calculated from the slope. It was possible to estimate the $k_D$ values in 100% water from a linear plot of $pK_D$ vs. water content in the solution by extrapolation. The separation factor, ${\alpha}$, of two compounds has been found to be affected not only by the $[CD]_T$ but also by their $K_D$ values. Under optimum conditions, some mixtures of phenol derivatives were able to separate successfully.

The inclusion compound constituted with three-dimensional metal-complex $Cd(pn)Ni(CN)_4$ has been prepared and determined the crystal structure from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Crystal data are as follows: $[Cd(pn)Ni(CN)_4]{\cdot}0.5(CH_3COCH_3{\cdot}H_2O)$, Fw = 387.35, Orthorhombic, $Pn2_1a$, a = 13.950(3) $\AA$, b = 26.713(7) $\AA$, c = 7.628(1) $\AA$, V = 2843(1) $\AA^3$, Z = 4, $D_x=1.81 gcm^{-3}$, $\mu(MoK{\alpha})$ = $28.153 cm^{-1}$, T = 297K, final R = 0.0418 for 3521($F_0>3{\sigma}(F_0)$). The metal-complex host provides tunnel cavity, similar to thiourea inclusion compounds, accommodated guest molecules $(=CH_3COCH_3\;and\;$H_2O).$ The stoichiometric host: guest ratio is 0.5. The title inclusion compound reveals another evidence for the host-selectivity, that is, the branched aliphatic guest molecule leads T-type host structure.
