description <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 charge&#8211;transfer complexes results in a red shift of the semiconductor absorption compared to unmodified nanocrystallites. The binding structures were investigated by using FTIR spectroscopy. The investigated ligands have the optimal geometry for chelating surface Ti atoms, resulting in ring coordination complexes (catecholate type of binuclear bidentate binding&#8211;bridging) thus restoring in six-coordinated octahedral geometry of surface Ti atoms. From the Benesi&#8211;Hildebrand plot, the stability constants at pH 2 of the order 10<sup>3</sup> M<sup>&#8722;1</sup> have been determined.</p>
