title: A new recognition concept using dye sensitized solar cell configuration.
abstract: A bifunctional compound 1 was designed and synthesized, in which the donor-π-conjugated-acceptor-cyanoacrylic acid configuration is suited for DSSC, while the tetraoxa-azacrown (donor) part also acts as the recognition unit for e.g. Ca(2+) and the output of DSSC is utilized as signal transduction, demonstrating a new recognition concept using DSSC.
