| Popis: | The effects of coadsorbing the amphiphilic ruthenium-based dye Z907 (cis-bis(isothiocyanato)(2,20-bipyridyl-4,40-dicarboxylato)(4,40-dinonyl-20-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)) with the coadsorbent DPA (n-decylphosphonic acid) and with the organic dye D35 ((E)-3-(5-(4-(bis(2′,4′-dibutoxybiphenyl-4-yl)amino)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid) on mesoporous TiO2 were investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). Z907 is expected to adsorb to the TiO2 surface via the carboxylic acid groups. However, Z907 also shows signs of interacting with the TiO2 via the sulfur of the thiocyanate groups, and this interaction is affected by both the addition of DPA and D35. DPA, when added, exchanges with Z907 at the TiO2 surface, and each Z907 is replaced by six DPA molecules, but it does not affect the energy level alignment between Z907 and TiO2 substantially. Adding D35 to Z907 induces changes in the adsorption configuration of Z907 by the means of suppressing the interaction of the thiocyanate ligands and the Ti... |
