Resumo: | Three heterocyclic dyes were synthesized having in mind the changes in the photovoltaic, optical and redox properties by functionalization of 5-aryl-thieno[3,2-<i>b</i>]thiophene, 5-arylthiophene and <i>bis</i>-methylpyrrolylthiophene π-bridges with different donor, acceptor/anchoring groups. Knoevenagel condensation of the aldehyde precursors with 2-cyanoacetic acid was used to prepare the donor-acceptor functionalized heterocyclic molecules. These organic metal-free dyes are constituted by thieno[3,2-<i>b</i>]thiophene, arylthiophene, <i>bis</i>-methylpyrrolylthiophene, spacers and one or two cyanoacetic acid acceptor groups and different electron donor groups (alkoxyl, and pyrrole electron-rich heterocycle). The evaluation of the redox, optical and photovoltaic properties of these compounds indicate that 5-aryl-thieno[3,2-<i>b</i>]thiophene-based dye functionalized with an ethoxyl electron donor and a cyanoacetic acid electron acceptor group/anchoring moiety displays as sensitizer for DSSCs the best conversion efficiency (2.21%). It is mainly assigned to the higher molar extinction coefficient, long π-conjugation of the heterocyclic system, higher oxidation potential and strong electron donating capacity of the ethoxyl group compared to the pirrolyl moiety. |

Fernandes (SFRH/BD/87786/2012) and to FEDER-COMPETE for financial support at the research center CQUM (UID/QUI/0686/2016) and (UID/QUI/0686/2020). The NMR spectrometers are part of the National NMR Network (PTNMR) and are partially supported by Infrastructure Project No. 022161 (co-financed by FEDER through COMPETE 2020, POCI and PORL and FCT through PIDDAC). The group in Porto would like to acknowledge the European Commission through the Seventh Framework Programme, the Specific Programme "Ideas" of the European Research Council for research and technological development as part of an Advanced Grant under Grant No. 321315, which also partially funded this work. Some of this work was also performed under the project "SunStorage-Harvesting and storage of solar energy", with reference POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016387, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through COMPETE 2020-Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalization (OPCI), and by national funds, through FCT. The group in Porto is also thankful to POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006939 (Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy-UID/EQU/00511/2013) funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through COMPETE2020-Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalizacao (POCI) and by national funds, LEPABE-2-ECO-INNOVATION, supported by the North Portugal Regional Operational Programme (NORTE 2020), under the Portugal 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERD).
