This paper is concerned with the parameters influencing the interfacial electron transfer kinetics, and therefore the sensitizing efficiency, for different sensitizer dyes adsorbed to nanocrystalline titanium dioxide films. We consider three sensitizer dyes: Ru(2,2‘-bipyridyl-4,4‘-dicarboxylate)2-cis-(NCS)2 (Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2) and zinc and free base tetracarboxyphenyl porphyrins (ZnTCPP & H2TCPP). These dyes were selected as they exhibit large differences in their oxidation potentials and photophysics, while retaining similar carboxylate groups for binding to the TiO2 surface. For example, whereas the photophysics of Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2 in solution is dominated by ultrafast ( 1 ns) π* singlet excited states and only weak singlet/triplet mixing. The ground and excited-state oxidation potentials also differ by up to ...
