1- Design of efficient solar cell dyes based on charge transfer absorption
diimine dithiolate These complexes should have charge transfer from metal or ligand orbitals to the p* orbitals.

By Brian Prascher, Chem 4610 student, 2003 LUMO Clearly a dx2-y2 orbital, not a diimine p* hv HOMO
So the lowest-energy NIR bands are d-d transitions and the LUMO is indeed dx2-y2, not diimine p* MO diagram for the M(diimine)(dithiolates) class!!! dx2-y2 *bpy *bpy dx2-y2 { { (thiolate) + d (Pt) (thiolate) + d (Pt) dxy dxz-yz dxz+-yz dz2 bpy
WHO CARES!! The above was science, let’s now see a potential application
Solar Energy Conversion • Silicon cells • 10-20 % efficiency • Corrosion • Expensive (superior crystallinity required) • Wide band gap semiconductors (e.g. TiO2; SnO2; CdS; ZnO; GaP): • Band gap >> 1 eV (peak of solar radiation) • Solution: tether a dye (absorbs strongly across the vis into the IR) on the semiconductor • Cheaper!!… used as colloidal particles
Literature studies to date focused almost solely on dyes of Ru(bpy)32+ derivatives ==> Strong absorption across the vis region (Grätzel; Kamat; T. Meyer; G. Meyer; others)
[M(N3)(X)]+Y-where M = Pt(II), Pd(II) or Ni(II); N3=triimine; X = anionic ligand (SCN-, halide, RS-, etc.). ArS- group Y= Cl-, BF4-, TCNQ-
Absorption Spectra of [Pt(tbtrpy)X]+ Y- Complexes • Using ArS- ligands as X shifts the CT absorption to the VIS region. • Using TCNQ- as Y adds NIR absorptions.

RGB bright emissions in the solid state and at RT are required for a multi-color device….
AuL3 as LED materials? • Glow strongly in the solid state at RT. • But [Au(PR3)3]+ X- don’t sublime into thin films (ionic). • How about neutral Au(PR3)2X?: • Do they also luminesce in the solid state at RT? • Do they also exhibit distortion to a T-shape?
T-shape and BEYOND! Au(PPh3)2Cl. Bond angles shown are: B3LYP; HF (exptl.). “Photocrystallography” and time-resolved EXAFS should tell us if these distortions toward and beyond a T-shape will really take place experimentally…stay tuned!
* The lifetime (7.9ms) suggests that the emission is phosphorescence from a formally triplet excited state.
