TL;DR: Cis-X 2 Bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate)ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared and characterized with respct to their absorption, luminescence, and redox behavior.
Abstract: cis-X 2 Bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate)ruthenium(II) complexes (X=Cl - , Br, I - , CN - , and SCN - ) were prepared and characterized with respct to their absorption, luminescence, and redox behavior. They act as efficient charge-transfer sensitizers for nanocrystalline TiO 2 films (thickness 8-12 μm) of very high internal surface area (roughness factor ca. 1000), prepared by sintering of 15-30-nm colloidal titania particles on a conducting glass support. The performance of cis-di(thiocyanato)bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate)ruthenium(II) (1) was found to be outstanding and is unmatched by any other known sensitizer

TL;DR: A review of the current progress in the area of TiO 2 photocatalysis, mainly photocatalytic air purification, sterilization and cancer therapy is discussed in this paper.
Abstract: Scientific studies on photocatalysis started about two and a half decades ago. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), which is one of the most basic materials in our daily life, has emerged as an excellent photocatalyst material for environmental purification. In this review, current progress in the area of TiO 2 photocatalysis, mainly photocatalytic air purification, sterilization and cancer therapy are discussed together with some fundamental aspects. A novel photoinduced superhydrophilic phenomenon involving TiO 2 and its applications are presented.
