Terpyridine and Quaterpyridine Complexes as Sensitizers for Photovoltaic Applications

Abstract: Terpyridine and quaterpyridine-based complexes allow wide light harvesting of the solar spectrum. Terpyridines, with respect to bipyridines, allow for achieving metal-complexes with lower band gaps in the metal-to-ligand transition (MLCT), thus providing a better absorption at lower energy wavelengths resulting in an enhancement of the solar light-harvesting ability. Despite the wider absorption of the first tricarboxylate terpyridyl ligand-based complex, Black Dye (BD), dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) perform… Show more

“…As a consequence of the high binding affinity, custom‐made terpyridine monomers combined with suitable metals give rise to programmable and highly ordered 2D and 3D structures . These supramolecular materials based on terpyridine‐containing p‐conjugated polymers found application in optoelectronic devices like organic light‐emitting diode, photovoltaic cells, organic field‐effect transistors and ion sensors , . Beyond this, the design of reversible and flexible metallo‐polymeric systems allows the integration of such architectures even in biological environments (e.g.…”

“…Therefore, tpy and their complexes have been widely studied [1]. Terpyridines and their complexes find applications in various fields, such as photovoltaic devices [2], sensors [3], medicinal chemistry [4], and for the construction of MOFs [5] just to name a few. Many methods are available for the preparation of terpyridine derivatives [6][7][8].…”
