Photoaction spectra of N3 bound to nanocrystalline TiO2 films in the presence of different electron mediators in MPN solutions: 0.25 M LiI/25 mM ( p h e n ) 3 2 + / 2 5 (circles), 0.25 M Co ( t E t e r p y ) 2 2 + / 2 5  mM NOBF4 (squares), 0.25 M Co <  mM NOBF4 (diamonds), 0.25 M Co ( D M B ) 3 2 + / 2 5  mM NOBF4 (triangles), 0.25 M Co I 2  mM NOBF4 (upside down triangles), and saturated ( ( D T B ) 3 2 + / 3 + 0.15 M) Co ( t T B t e r p y ) 2 2 + / 3 +  mM NOBF4 (crosses). 0.25 M LiClO4 was added to all solutions containing a cobalt mediator.
