✦ Synopsis

The complexes [Ru(dcb) 2 (L)] {L = 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(pyri-into electricity in regenerative solar cells. The different efficiencies observed have been rationalized on the basis of din-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (2-ppt), 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (4-ppt), 3,5-bis(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole an analytical expression relating the incident photon-tocurrent conversion efficiency (IPCE) to the kinetic (bpzt), 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (2-ppzt) and dcb = 4,4Ј-(CO 2 H) 2 -2,2Ј-bipyridine} have been parameters of the relevant electron transfer processes involved in the solar cell. synthesized, spectroscopically characterized and anchored to nanocrystalline TiO 2 electrodes for the conversion of light
