These complexes exhibit panchromatic light harvesting that results in significant DSSC current densities, rendering them promising for photovoltaic applications. Adjustment of the lowest excited state energy is required to boost the power conversion efficiency.}, issn = {1359-7345}, doi = {10.1039/c2cc34311h}, author = {Li, Guocan and Bomben, Paolo G. and Robson, Kiyoshi C.
