Electrochemically controlled radical polymerization enabled the growth of ruthenium(II) vinylpolypyridyl complexes within the cavities of TiO 2 films, as described by T. J. Meyer et al. in their Communication on page 4872 ff. The in situ prepared film is of potential for harvesting light in dye‐sensitized solar cells and in dye‐sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells that operate in an aqueous environment.
