Ruthenium complexes bearing pi-extended pyrrolo-styryl-bipyridine ligand: electronic properties and evaluation as photosensitizers.
A new Ru(L)(dcbpy)(NCS)2 dye containing a pyrrole-based pi-extended ligand has been prepared and showed very good light harvesting ability with near 70% IPCE in the visible region. The performance is very close to those of the standard N3 with a wider absorption range.
