Abstract

Chalcogenopyrylium monomethine dyes were prepared via condensation of a 4-methylchalcogenopyrylium compound with a chalcogenopyran-4-one bearing a 4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)phenyl substituent (or the phosphonic acid derivative). The dyes have absorbance maxima of 603-697 nm in the window where the solar spectrum is most intense. The dyes formed H-aggregates on TiO2, increasing the light-harvesting efficiency of the dyes. Shortcircuit photocurrent action spectra were acquired to evaluate the influence of dye structure on the photoelectrochemical performance.
