title: Organic dyes containing thienylfluorene conjugation for solar cells.
abstract: New organic dyes that contain variable lengths of conjugation featuring alternating thiophene and fluorene segments have been synthesized and efficient nano-crystalline TiO2 based dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated using these molecules as light-harvesting sensitizers.
