Abstract

Interfacial charge-transfer absorption (IFCTA) provides information concerning the barriers to charge transfer between molecules and the energy levels of a metal/semiconductor and the magnitude of the electronic coupling and could thus provide a powerful tool for understanding interfacial charge-transfer kinetics. Here we utilize a previously published model (J. Phys. Chem. B 2005, 109, 10251) to predict the energetics of IFCTA spectra for semiconductors and compare literature observations to these predictions for n-type semiconductors (largely TiO_2). In contrast to metals, where IFCTA has been only rarely observed, new absorption features due to IFCTA are common for semiconductors such as TiO_2. At issue is whether the electron accepting states in the TiO_2 are localized or delocalized over the conduction band.
