Abstract

Our macroscopic world and the world of atoms and small molecules are separated by length scales differing by seven or more orders of magnitude. Describing the latter world with fluorescence probes in terms of structure and dynamics has both merits and difficulties due to peculiarities and limitations of fluorescence method. Demonstrating unique resolution in time and very high sensitivity to interaction energies, this method generally lacks structural resolution on the level of atomic details. Therefore, presentation of fluorescent probe by its molecular structure or its derivatives (size, charge distribution, dipole moment, etc.) and of its tested molecular environment in terms of continuous medium (such as micropolarity, microfluidity, or proticity) became the common method of analysis. This description that combines molecular-level parameters and reduced to molecularlevel macroscopic parameters can be termed “nanoscopic”. The strong demand towards rational description of systems with molecular and nanoscale heterogeneity (surfaces of liquids and solids, liquid–liquid and liquid–solid interfaces, nanoparticles and porous nanocomposites) requires critical analysis of methodology when applied to these systems. This will be the subject of the present chapter.
