Abstract

This paper reports visible-light sensitization of TiO₂ nanoparticles by surface modification with Mn(II)-terpyridine complexes, as evidenced by UV-vis spectroscopy of colloidal thin films and aqueous suspensions. Photoexcitation of the [Mn^II(H₂O) ₃(catechol-terpy)]²⁺/TiO₂ (terpy = 2,2′:6,2″-terpyridine) complex, attached to the TiO₂ surface, leads to interfacial electron transfer within 300 fs as indicated by ultrafast optical pumpterahertz probe transient measurements and computational simulations. Photoinduced interfacial electron transfer is accompanied by Mn(II) → Mn(III) photooxidation. The half-time for regeneration of the Mn(II) complex is ca. 23 s (at 6 K), as monitored by time-resolved measurements of the Mn(II) EPR signal.
