Journal Article
Narra, V. K., Ullah, H., Singh, V. K., Giribabu, L., Senthilarasu, S., Karazhanov, S., …Upadhyaya, H. M. (2015). D–π–A system based on zinc porphyrin dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells: Combined experimental and DFT–TDDFT study. Polyhedron, 100,

A series of four new porphyrin-furan dyads were designed and synthesized by having anchoring group either at meso-phenyl or pyrrole-β position of a zinc porphyrin based on donor–π–acceptor (D–π–A) approach. The porphyrin macrocycle acts as donor, fur... Read More about D–π–A system based on zinc porphyrin dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells: Combined experimental and DFT–TDDFT study.
