Novel organic dyes consist of ferrocene as donor, thiophene as linker, and cyanoacrylic acid as acceptor have been synthesized. These compounds are characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis spectrometer, and cyclic voltametry in the estimation of HOMO and LUMO energy levels. DSSCs device tests have been made in order to understand whether the charge transfer properties of these compounds are appropriate as the role of sensitizers for DSSCs.
