Excited states of mono- and biruthenium(II) complexes adsorbed on nanocrystalline titanium dioxide studied by electroabsorption spectroscopy by Daniel Pelczarski, Błażej Gierczyk, Maciej Zalas, Malgorzata Makowska-Janusik, Waldemar Stampor

“…The EA spectra of Ru complexes sensitizing a TiO2 semiconductor were compared with the spectra of these complexes in the form of solid neat films, both of which parametrized within the Liptay theory. The extracted values of relevant parameters, relating to molecular dipoles after optical MLCT (metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer) excitation, exhibit a clearly noticeable increase for Ru complexes adsorbed on TiO2, but they are too small to be attributed to excitation associated with the direct transfer of an electron from the dye adsorbate to the TiO2 semiconductor. …”
