New Hybrid Properties of TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles Surface Modified With Catecholate Type Ligands

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Surface modification of nanocrystalline TiO<sub>2</sub> particles (45 &#197;) with bidentate benzene derivatives (catechol, pyrogallol, and gallic acid) was found to alter optical properties of nanoparticles. The formation of the inner-sphere char...
