We have derived an expression for the rate of electron transfer between a semiconductor and a redox centre connected to the semiconductor via a molecular bridge. This model is particularly useful to study the charge recombination (CR) process in dye-sensitized solar cells, where the dye is often connected to the semiconductor by a conjugated bridge. This formalism, designed to be coupled with density functional theory electronic structure calculations, can be used to explore the effect of changing the bridge on the rate of interfacial electron transfer. As an example, we have evaluated the CR rate for a series of systems that differ in the bridge length.
