A new ion-coordinating ruthenium sensitizer for mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells

A new ion-coordinating ruthenium polypyridyl sensitizer, NaRu(4-carboxylic acid-4′-carboxylate)(4,4′-bis[(triethyleneglycolmethylether) heptylether]-2,2′-bipyridine)(NCS)2 (coded as K68), has been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy. A power con...
