Abstract

A new unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine sensitizer has been synthesised. The anchoring of the molecule to nanocrystalline TiO₂ films is realised by a carboxylic group connected to a phenyl ethynyl moiety. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show significant and positive effects of such a functionalization. Electron injection into the semiconductor and photocurrent generation in DSSC are also presented.
