title: Metal ion mediated electron transfer at dye-semiconductor interfaces.
abstract: Here we demonstrate that the incorporation of Cu2+linking ions into self-assembled bilayer films significantly perturbs the electron transfer rate at dye-semiconductor interfaces. Despite near unity quenching of the excited state of the dye by the Cu2+ions, a charge separated state with slowed recombination is observed.
