title: Covalent attachment and growth of nanocrystalline films of photocatalytic TiOF2.
abstract: This manuscript describes a synthesis of nanocrystalline TiOF2 film. The nanocrystalline TiOF2 becomes chemically attached to the surface of the glass slide. These films are robust and can be recycled as photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes and solvents. These films also have significant antibacterial properties upon irradiation.
