abstract:
The heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complex, [(TAT)Ru(Tpy-COOH)]2+ (TAT = 40-[(2,20:50,20'-terthien-30-
ethynyl]-2,20:60,200-terpyridine; Tpy-COOH = 4,40,400-tricarboxylate-2,20:60,200-terpyridine), bearing two
different terpyridine ligands, has been synthesized. Its aptitude to generate the corresponding
metallopolymer, due to the presence of the terthiophene moiety on the other terpyridine ligand, has been
investigated, and the polymer species has been characterized by UV–vis spectroscopy and cyclic
voltammetry. On the basis of computational, optical and electrochemical data, a preliminary test to check
the ability of the complex to act as sensitizer in DSSC devices, thanks to the anchoring —COOH groups on a
terpyridine ligand, has been performed.
