 note = {Dye-sensitized titanium oxide electrodes were prepared by immobilizing a novel ruthenium complex, di(isothiocy- anato)bis(4-methyl-4’-vinyl-2,2’-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [(NCS)_2(mvbpy)_2Ru(II)] or the ruthenium complex/sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate onto the surface of a titanium oxide-coated, fluorine-doped tin oxide (TiO_2/FTO) electrode through a new electrochemically initiated film formation method, in which the electrolysis step and the film deposition step were individually performed. The incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of the Ru complex film on a TiO_2/FTO electrode was disappointedly insufficient (1.2% at 440 nm). In sharp contrast, the Ru(II) complex/so- dium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate composite film deposited on the surface of a TiO_2/FTO electrode showed maximum IPCE of 31.7% at 438 nm.},
