10. Depending on the surface treatment and the binding conditions, the carboxylic groups bind covalently to the surface by reacting with surface OH groups and forming ester bonds, or can form carboxylates that interact with the surface in an unknown manner. The binding mode is usually determined by IR (C=O stretching). The ester linkages provide strong electronic coupling between the complex and the semiconductor and are thought to cause the ultrafast (femtosecond) electron injection rate constants that have been measured.
