Electron transfer from the excited electronic singlet state of chemisorbed ruthenium(II) cis-di(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) into empty electronic states in a colloidal anatase TiO2 film was measured as a transient absorption signal of the injected hot electrons with a rise time
