Electron transfer from photoexcited TiO2 to Chelating alizarin molecules: Reversible photochromic effect in Alizarin@TiO2 under UV irradiation

Reduction of alizarin molecules coupled to TiO2 nanoparticles (A@TiO2) occurs on UV irradiation in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. Evidence is presented that reduction is mediated by conduction-band electrons and yields a 1,2,9,10-tetrahydroxyanthracene species which remains coupled to...
