Here we demonstrate that the incorporation of Cu2+ linking ions into self-assembled bilayer films significantly perturbs the electron transfer rate at dye–semiconductor interfaces. Despite near unity quenching of the excited state of the dye by the Cu2+ ions, a charge separated state with slowed recombination is observed.
