✦ Synopsis

A trisheteroleptic …

… thiocyanate-free Ru II complex gives high power-conversion efficiencies (h) in a dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC). In their Communication on page 10 682 ff., C. P. Berlinguette et al. report the design of this complex bearing a bidentate ligand that serves to suppress the interaction between the electrolyte and the TiO 2 surface and an anionic cyclometalating ligand that renders a broad and intense absorption range.
