Two spatially different nano-structured inorganic materials, titania nanosheets (TNS) and mesoporous silica (MPS). were integrated onto a glass substrate to form stacked composite thin films. Investigations were then carried out on photoinduced electron transfers between the tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrinatomelal(4+) ion ([M-(tmpyp)] ++ ); M = H 2 , Zn, and Co) and 1,1'-dimethyl-4.4'-bipyridinium (methyl viologen; MV 2+ ) within the hybrid films. The [M(tmpyp)] 4+ molecules were found to be adsorbed only in the MPS nano-cavities, while MV 2+ was intercalated only in the TNS layer, i.e., the [M(tmpyp)] 4+ and MV 2+ molecules could he separately and selectively accommodated into the MPS nano-cavities and TNS layers of the hybrid films, respectively. Upon UV light irradiation (TNS excitation) of the films containing [H 2 (tmpyp)] 4+ , the decomposition of [H 2 (tmpyp)] 4+ and the formation of a one-electron reduced MV 2+ (MV +• ) were observed, clearly indicating photoinduced electron transfers in the MPS/TNS films. Moreover, when the metal-complex [Zn(tmpyp)] 4+ or [co(tmpyp)] + was used in place of [H 2 (tmpyp)] 4+ , visible light-induced electron transfers could be observed in the present MPS/TNS hybrid film, the first report of such charge separation in consecutively stacked thin films by visible light.
