A series of porphyrin compounds, free base (H₂P) and their Zn (II) metallated analogues (ZnP), bearing one, two or three carboxylic acid groups, have been synthesized, characterized, and used as sensitizers in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The performance of these devices has been analyzed, showing higher efficiencies of those sensitized with ZnP compounds. These results have been explained, on one hand, taking into account the electronic character of the metal ion, which acts as mediator ...[more]
