TL;DR: A high molar extinction coefficient heteroleptic ruthenium complex, incorporating an electron-rich hexylthio-terminal chain, has been synthesized and demonstrated as an efficient sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis and performance of a new well-designed ruthenium-based sensitizer, SJW-E1 (cis-di(thiocyanato)-4,4′-di (octylethylenedioxythienyl)-2,2′-bipyridine-4, 4′-dicarboxylate-2, 2′-Bipyridyl-decompositioned bipyridine, respectively, as an ancillary ligand.

TL;DR: Two unsymmetrical squaraines, where the electron-rich 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene or bithiophene conjugated fragment was used to link unconventionally the squaraine core and the hexyloxyphenyl amino group, were applied for DSCs, exhibit an attractively panchromatic response and convert a portion of the near-infrared photons into electricity.

TL;DR: In this article, a new heteroleptic ruthenium complex, coded CYC-B13, incorporating an antenna ligand composed of the sequential connection of a Conjugated segment and carbazole hole-transport moiety was prepared.
