Abstract
In this work, the synthesis and X-ray crystallographic study of a new cobalt(II) coordination complex with 2,2'- bipyridine (bpy) and nitrate ions as the ligands are reported. The complex is characterized by single crystal XRD, elemental analyses, FTIR and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques and the results shows that it may be used as a potential sensitizer in dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Single crystal XRD analysis revealed that crystal structure is stabilized by both intra-molecular and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in the complex involving the coordinated nitrate ion and water molecules. Photovoltaic performance of the complex was also evaluated by fabricating a proto type cell.
