Abstract
Ru(PPh3)(2)(dcbipy)Cl-2 (PPh3 = triphenylphosphine, dcbipy = 2,2'-bipy ridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate) was prepared to use as a TiO2 sensitizer in wet regenerative photoelectrochemical cells. The complex has been stru cturally characterized by IR, Raman, ES-MS and NMR spectroscopies. The broad bands in the visible spectrum as well as the reversibility of t he redox couple Ru-II-Ru-III, established by cyclic voltammetry, make this complex potentially beneficial for the photosensitization process .
