Isomer Dependence of Efficiency and Charge Recombination in Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells Using Ru Complex Dyes Bearing Halogen Substituents

Abstract

We have synthesised Ru(H 2 -dcbpy)(N,NЈ-Y 2 -bpy)(NCS) 2 dyes (where N = 4, 5; Y = F, Cl, Br; N is the position on the bipyridyl ring where the halogen substituent is located) for dye-sensitised solar cells. We show that careful consideration of the position of the substituent, in conjunction with the nature of the substituents, on a bpy ring is important to optimize

A Ru(ii)-arene-ferrocene complex with promising antibacterial activity

“…Fluorescence measurements were conducted using a Varioskan LUX plate reader. Aminoferrocene, 34 ferrocenylaniline, 35,36 L1, 37 L2, 38 L3, 39 and the Ru(II)-arene dimer 40 ([Ru( p-cymene)Cl 2 ] 2 ) were all prepared following previous procedures.…”

Stability Tuning of Vapor-Adsorbed State of Vapochromic Pt(II) Complex by Introduction of Chiral Moiety

“…Commercially available starting materials and solvents were used without further purification unless stated. The precursor 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid was prepared according to a previously published method …”

“…The precursor 2,2′bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid was prepared according to a previously published method. 41 1 H NMR spectra at room temperature were recorded on an ECZ-400S NMR spectrometer. Elemental analysis was conducted at the Analysis Center at Hokkaido University.…”
