Dyes, Radicals and Nitrous Oxide Adducts Derived from N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Léonard Yannick Maurice Eymann

N-Heterocyclic carbenes are able to form covalent adducts with nitrous oxide (N2O) under ambient conditions. This thesis summarizes the studies of these adducts and their reactivity. A ditopic carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbene was found to react with nit ...

Pyridyl- and Picolinic Acid Substituted Zinc(II) Phthalocyanines for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jun Ho Yum, Aravind Kumar Chandiran

A series of tri-tert-butyl zinc(II) phthalocyanines (Pcs) substituted with pyridyl, carboxyl, or picolinic acid anchoring groups on the periphery were prepared. Photovoltaic (PV) studies on these dyes were carried out revealing some interesting features. I ...
