A new dinuclear ruthenium(II) polypyridine complex has been successfully synthesized. The new compound has been characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. Its potential application as a sensitizing dye in dye-sensitized solar cells has been checked under AM 1.5 G irradiation conditions (100 mW cm-2) and its performance was compared to that of a commercially available mononuclear analogous dye. The overall light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic device sensitized by the new dinuclear dye has been found to be over 2.5 times lower than that sensitized by the commercial analogue, despite a much higher extinction coefficient of the former dye. The probable reasons for the lower photovoltaic activity are discussed.

An efficient synthesis of multidentate polypyridine ligands, 3,5-bis(2,2′-bipyridin-4-ylethynyl)benzoic acid and 3,5-bis(2,5-bis(2- pyridyl)-pyridin-4-ylethynyl)benzoic acid, with potential application in the production of ruthenium dyes for dye-sensitised solar cells was developed. Isolation of intermediate products and final compounds is simple and the yields are very high. The ligands obtained can be used in the synthesis of dendritic analogues of well known and very efficient N3 dye and "black dye".
