The coplanarity of the indacenodithiophene core facilitates efficient donor to acceptor charge transfer, imparting the new organic dyes significant bathochromic shifts and remarkable power conversion efficiencies of up to 6.7% (DTInDT) under AM 1.5G radiation. © 2011 American Chemical Society.[SDGs]SDG7Bathochromic shift; Coplanarity; Dye-Sensitized solar cell; Organic dye; Power conversion efficiencies; Charge transfer; Conversion efficiency; Ion exchange; Photoelectrochemical cells; Solar cells; dye; indacenodithiophene; thiophene; unclassified drug; article; chemical structure; cyclic potentiometry; dye sensitized solar cell; medical technology; modulation; oxidation; photoluminescence; radiation; synthesis; ultraviolet spectroscopyjournal article10.1021/jo201730a2-s2.0-80055079360WOS:000296206400039
