Ru(PPh3)2(dcbipy)Cl2 (PPh3 = triphenylphosphine, dcbipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) was prepared to use as a TiO2 sensitizer in wet regenerative photoelectrochemical cells. The complex has been structurally characterized by IR, Raman, ES-MS and NMR spectroscopies. The broad bands in the visible spectrum as well as the reversibility of the redox couple RuIII-RuIII, established by cyclic voltammetry, make this complex potentially beneficial for the photosensitization process.
