Abstract

The first trichromophoric sensitizer, consisting of covalently linked boradiazaindacene (BODIPY), zinc porphyrin (ZnP), and squaraine (SQ) units, has been synthesized by Heck alkynylation to obtain a panchromatic dye, for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Efficient intramolecular energy transfers (ET) were observed between all chromophoric subunits and enhance the overall conversion efficiency by 25%. The antenna effect is demonstrated by the photoaction spectrum which features all of a chromophore's absorption bands.
