Disclosed is a novel photosensitizer that can absorb light in a wide visible light region and in the case of a very thin film form, can enhance a light absorption efficiency by virtue of a large light absorption coefficient. The photosensitizer is used for metal oxide semiconductor electrodes and comprises a metal complex represented by a general formula ML1L2X2, wherein M is a group 8 transition metal of the periodic table, Xs are each independently a halogen atom, a cyano group, a thiocyanate group, an isothiocyanate group, an isocyanate group, an isocyanide group or a hydroxyl group, or a bidentate ligand in the case where Xs are bonded to one another, L1 and L2 are each a ligand having an aromatic ring, and either L1 or L2 has a functional group having a COOH group or PO(OH)2, and when the photosensitizer is adsorbed on a metal oxide semiconductor electrode via ligands L1 and L2, the difference ΔL between the energy levels of ligands L1 and L2 in their excited states, calculated in accordance with a GAUSSIAN03 quantum chemistry calculation program is 0.25 eV or more.
揭示了一种新型光敏剂,可以在广泛的可见光区域吸收光线,并且在非常薄的薄膜形式下,由于具有较大的光吸收系数,可以增强光吸收效率。该光敏剂用于金属氧化物半导体电极,包括由通式ML1L2X2表示的金属配合物,其中M是周期表中的8族过渡金属,Xs分别是卤素原子、氰基、硫氰酸基、异硫氰酸基、异氰酸基、异氰化物基或羟基,或者在Xs彼此相互键合的情况下是双齿配体,L1和L2分别是具有芳香环的配体,其中L1或L2具有一个具有COOH基团或PO(OH)2基团的功能基团,当光敏剂通过配体L1和L2吸附在金属氧化物半导体电极上时,配体L1和L2在其激发态中的能级之间的能级差ΔL,根据GAUSSIAN03量子化学计算程序计算的结果为0.25电子伏或更高。
