Abstract
Two Schiff base complexes of copper(ii) and cobalt(iii) having the formulae [CuL2] (Cu-Sal) and [CoL3] (Co-Sal) (HL = 2-(((2-hydroxyethyl)imino)methyl)phenol) have been synthesized and characterized microanalytically, spectroscopically and in the case of Cu-Sal using single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The single crystal X-ray analysis reveals a square planar geometry around Cu(ii) satisfied by phenoxide oxygen and imine nitrogen of the L- ligand to generate a six membered chelate ring. The solid state structure of Cu-Sal is satisfied by varied intermolecular non-covalent interactions. The nature of these interactions has been addressed with the aid of Hirshfeld surface analysis. Both compounds have been used as sensitizers in TiO2 based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and the DSSC experiments revealed that Co-Sal offers better photovoltaic performance in comparison to Cu-Sal. The Co-Sal exhibited a J sc of 9.75 mA cm-2 with a V oc of -0.648 V, incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 57% and η of 3.84%. The relatively better photovoltaic performance of Co-Sal could be attributed to better light absorption and dye loading than that of Cu-Sal.

CH–CHCN–R{RCOOH (1) and C6H4–COOH (2)}] were synthesized as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. These dyes were characterized with the aid of analytical and spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, HR-Mass, and 1H and 13C NMR. The thermal stability of the dyes 1 and 2 were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and was found to be stable around 180 °C for dye 1 and 240 °C for dye 2. The electronic absorption spectra for sensitizers display major bands between 400 and 585 nm that could be ascribed to an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) between the electron donor and acceptor to create an efficient charge separation. The redox behaviour of the dyes was determined by cyclic voltammetry, which revealed the one-electron transfer from the ferrocene to ferrocenium ion (Fe2+ ⇌ Fe3+), and potential was utilized to determine the band gap of the dyes (2.16 eV for 1 and 2.12 eV for 2). Further, the carboxylic anchor dyes 1 and 2 have been utilized as photosensitizers in TiO2-based DSSCs with and without co-adsorbance of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), and the photovoltaic performances were studied. The obtained photovoltaic parameters of dye 2 are open-circuit voltage (Voc) = 0.428 V, short-circuit current density (Jsc) = 0.086 mA cm−2, the fill factor (FF) = 0.432 and the energy efficiencies (η) = 0.015%, the overall power conversion efficiencies were found to be increased in the presence of CDCA as a co-adsorbent. The photosensitizers with the addition of CDCA show higher efficiencies compared to those in the absence of CDCA, which can prevent the formation of aggregation and increased electron injection of the dyes. Among the dyes, the 4-(cyanomethyl) benzoic acid (2) anchor showed higher photovoltaic performance compared with the cyanoacrylic acid (1) anchor due to the introduction of additional π-linkers and acceptor unit, which enables the lowering of the energy barrier and charge recombination process. In addition, the experimentally observed HOMO and LUMO values were in good agreement with the theoretical calculation by the DFT-B3LYP/6-31+G**/LanL2TZf level of theory. Enhanced DSSC efficiencies were attained in the presence of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) as a co-adsorbent in multi-donor ferrocenyl dyes.![]()

Exploring Structure-Property Relationships in a Family of Ferrocene-Containing, Triphenylamine-Based Hybrid Organic Dyes. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
In this work, a new family of triphenylamine-based dyes equipped with ferrocene (Fc)-containing donors have been synthesized, characterized, and studied within dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). With the objective of designing a redox-robust iron-containing dye that effectively sensitizes titania, a family of five structurally related dyes containing ferrocene were prepared. The physicochemical properties of all dyestuffs were studied using UV-Vis and electrochemical measurements. Different cross-coupling strategies resulted in the ability to modestly tune the Fc/Fc+ redox potentials of the dye. Despite the Fc-containing dyes having optoelectronic properties consistent with the non-ferrocene parent dye, the performance of the dyes in devices was dismal and decreased with the number of appended ferrocenes. While this finding was consistent with previous attempts to explore Fc-TPA DSSC dyes, our spectroelectrochemical data supports the hypothesis that the ferrocene component of the dye is oxidized by the electrolyte, ultimately decreasing the dye’s ability to be a suitable sensitizer. While these dyes are not suitable for DSSC applications, they might find applications in other photo-induced integrated devices where charge recombination is minimal.

Abstract
Two organometallic compounds known as (E)-1-ferrocenyl-(3-fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Fc1) and (E)-1-ferrocenyl-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Fc2) are designed and synthesized for application in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) architecture. By strategically introducing a methoxy group into the acceptor side of the compound, Fc2 which has adopted a D-π-A-AD structure are compared with the basic D-π-A structure of Fc1. Both compounds were characterized by utilizing the IR, NMR and UV-Vis methods. Target compounds were further investigated by X-ray analysis and studied computationally using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches to explore their potential performances in DSSCs. An additional methoxy group has been proven in enhancing intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) by improving the planarity of Fc2 backbone. This good electronic communication leads to higher HOMO energy level, larger dipole moment and better short-circuit current density (Jsc) values. Eventually, the presence of methoxy group in Fc2 has improved the conversion efficiency as in comparison to Fc1 under the same conditions.
