文摘
Synthesis of the [Ru(dcbpy)2(OQN)]+ complex is reported in which dcbpy and OQN鈥?/sup> are the bidentate 4,4鈥?dicarboxy-2,2鈥?bipyridyl and 8-oxyquinolate ligands, respectively. Spectroscopic, electrochemical, and theoretical analyses are indicative of extensive Ru(OQN) molecular orbital overlap due to degenerate Ru d(蟺) and OQN p(蟺) mixing. [Ru(dcbpy)2(OQN)]+ displays spectroscopic properties remarkably similar to those of the N3 dye, making it a promising candidate for application in dye-sensitized solar cell devices. However, its solar power conversion efficiency requires further optimization.
