摘要
A TiO2 nanocrystallite has been modified to recognise and selectively bind, by complementary hydrogen bonding, a uracil substrate incorporating a viologen moiety. Band-gap excitation of the self-assembled donor (TiO2 nanocrystallite)- acceptor (viologen) complex results in electron transfer. Some implications of these findings for the self-assembly of functional nanostructures containing both condensed phase and molecular components are considered.
