Interfacial electron transfer in FeII(CN)6 4--sensitized TiO2 nanoparticles: A study of direct charge injection by electroabsorption spectroscopy

Electroabsorption (Stark) spectroscopy has been used to study the dye sensitized interfacial electron transfer in an FeII(CN)6 4- donor complex bound to a TiO2 nanoparticle. The average charge-transfer distance determined from the Stark spectra is 5.3 Å. This value is similar to the estimated distan...
