Abstract Details

2012, Bachelor of Science (BS), Ohio University, Chemistry.
This research project examined the synthesis of tris-heteroleptic ruthenium polypyridyl solar dyes that incorporate the OS or 2-(Methylthio)benzoic acid ligand. The literature is lacking in robust and facile tris-heteroleptic ruthenium polpyridine, therefore many synthetic reaction conditions and product isolation techniques were explored and optimized. Furthermore, a ruthenium complex with terminal thiol linkers was synthesized and adsorbed onto the surface of a nanocrystal quantum dot. The interfacial electron transfer of this coupled system was explored via steady state photoluminescence and absorbance spectroscopy experiments. All projects were built upon the idea of exploring novel solar light capturing molecular systems for applications in photovoltaic devices.
