β¦ Synopsis
The coupling of TiO 2 and transition metal complexes is attempted with the aim of higher functionalization of the TiO 2 photocatalyst. UV irradiation (Ξ» ex > 300 nm) of a TiO 2 suspension containing equimolar aqueous solutions of FeCl 3 and K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] forms uniform thin films of "water-insoluble Prussian blue" (PB, Fe 3+ 4 [Fe II (CN) 6 ] 3 ) on the surface of TiO 2 particles. The PB photodeposition is enhanced significantly by the addition of a small amount of CH 3 OH in both the rutile and anatase TiO 2 systems. The activity of anatase TiO 2 is greater than that of rutile in the presence of CH 3 OH (2.46 M) by a factor of 1.6 Β± 0.2, whereas the activities are comparable in the absence of CH 3 OH. These results are discussed on the basis of a proposed reaction mechanism.

Wettability of sol-gel TiO 2 film surfaces has been studied by following the H 2 O contact angle (ΞΈ) as functions of illumination time and subsequent dark storage time. Upon illumination of the TiO 2 surface (Ξ» ex > 300 nm), the value of ΞΈ rapidly decreased to reach approximately zero (photoprocess)
