Abstract
Simple assembly: A “layer-by-layer” deposition of functionalized dyes/catalysts on the surfaces of nanocrystalline oxides is introduced. The strategy is general and offers considerable flexibility based on phosphonate- or carboxylate-binding groups with ZrIV as bridging ions. The resulting bilayer structures are capable of supporting rapid intra-layer energy and electron transfer (see picture).
