N2 - Spectroelectrochemical detection of surface states of titanium dioxide nanoparticles has been achieved by selective modification with enediol ligands of the surface of the nanoparticles assembled into films. Dopamine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid are ortho-substituted hydroxylated ligands that have shown selectivity for the surface defects of TiO 2 nanoparticles. Bidentate coordination of surface titanium atoms by the ligands changes the effective band-gap energy of TiO 2, shifting the absorption band from the ultraviolet to the visible and infrared range. The repairing of undercoordinated nanoparticle surface sites by enediol ligands is demonstrated in films assembled from modified nanoparticles.
