A heterogeneous system composed of zinc oxide nanorods and ruthenium bipyridyl complex dye molecules is described. The photophysical and spectroscopic properties of the system are reported. It has been found that the ruthenium complex binds well to the zinc oxide nanorods and exhibits strong emission properties characteristic of ruthenium complexes. Photoluminescence and emission studies suggest that the ruthenium dye influences the emission and lifetime of the zinc oxide.
