Abstract

CdS nanoclusters of four different sizes were integrated with ruthenium-complex dyes. The cluster-dye crystalline composites, [Cd₄(SPh)₁₀][Ru(bpy)₃], [Cd₈S(SPh)₁₆][Ru(bpy)₃], [Cd₈S(SPh)₁₃·Cl·(CH₃OCS₂)₂][Ru(phen)₃], [Cd₁₇S₄-(SPh)₂₈][Ru(bpy)₃], and [Cd₃₂S₁₄(SPh)₄₀][Ru(phen)₃]₂ (phen=1,10-phenanthroline and bpy=bipyridine), show intense absorption in the visible-light region. They also exhibit size-dependent photocurrent responses under the illumination of visible light. The photocurrent increases with increased cluster size. The dyes also have significant influence on the photocurrent generation of the composite. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
