Abstract: The free radical PTH·+ photo-induced in the system of phenothiazine(PTH)/TiO2 has been studied by ESR. In the system of PTH/RH, the PTH·+ is produced by photoionization of PTH. On the other hand, in the system of PTH/RH/TiO2, the PTH·+ is generated by photo-ionization of PTH, as well as by the electron transfer from the 1PTH* to the conduction band of TiO2. Furthermore, the diamagnetic ion PTH2+ is also obtained by the electron transfer from the PTH·+ to the conduction band of TiO2.
