Copper(II), Nickel(II), Cobalt(II), and Iron(II) complexes of conjugated organic ligands as potential dye-sensitised solar cell materials / Anita Marlina

The primary aim of this research was to synthesize and characterize metals(II) complexes of conjugated organic ligands as potential dye-sensitised solar cell materials. The ligands were synthesized from the reactions of 2,6-diamino-4-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine with pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde (H2L1), 2,5-th...
