Synthesis and Physico-Chemical Properties of Homoleptic Copper(I) Complexes with Asymmetric Ligands as a DSSC Dye

To develop low-cost and efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we designed and prepared three homoleptic Cu(I) complexes with asymmetric ligands, <b>M1</b>, <b>M2</b>, and <b>Y3</b>, which have the advantages of heteroleptic-type complexes and compensate fo...
