Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of general formula (I) wherein R 100 and R 200 are each independently hydrogen, C 1 -C 10 -alkyl which in case of C 2 -alkyl may be interrupted by one and in case of C 3 -C 10 -alkyl by one or two non- adjacent oxygen atoms, C 5 -C 7 -cycloalkyl, aryl, aryl-C 1 -C 10 -alkyl or aryloxy-C 1 -C 10 -alkyl, D is an m-valent (m = 1, 2 or 3) donor moiety which comprises at least one carbon- carbon or carbon-heteroatom double bond and/or at least one unfused or fused carbo- or heterocyclic ring, A is an acceptor moiety which comprises at least one carbon- carbon or carbon-heteroatom double bond and/or at least one unfused or fused carbo- or heterocyclic ring, and the donor moiety D and the acceptor moiety A are π- conjugated to one another. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of compounds of formula (I) for producing dye-sensitized solar cells and to dye-sensitized solar cells comprising compounds of formula (I).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrode layer comprising a porous film made of oxide semiconductor fine particles sensitized with a methine dye having a counter anion capable of absorbing electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range of from 400 nm to 1000 nm. Moreover the present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion device comprising said electrode layer, a dye sensitized solar cell comprising said photoelectric conversion device, an organic electronic device comprising said photoelectric conversion device and to novel methine dyes having a counter anion capable of absorbing electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range of from 400 nm to 1000 nm.
