We are interested in studying the photophysical and electronic properties of Re₂(III,III) paddlewheel complexes to determine their potential for use as dyes in photovoltaic devices. Molybdenum and tungsten paddlewheel complexes have been investigated for use as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized or bulk-heterojunction solar cells. Further details...
