Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc (II) Phthalocyanine for Screening Potential Solar Cell Dye Application

Phthalocyanine molecules have the potential to be used in select Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) and Luminescent Concentrators (LSCs), due UV-Vis absorbance 300-450 (nm) Soret Band, corresponding π HOMO-1 π* LUMO transition 550-690 Q-band, HOMO transitions. In this study Tetranitro Zinc (II) is synthesized via base catalysis before product characterized IR, 1H NMR & analysis. Assessing desirability of as a solar organic semiconducting dye DSSCs LSCs. The assessed by novel computational DFT calculations, aggregation binding mode deduce if Aggregation-Caused Quenching (ACQ) occurring aggregated sample. ACQ known reduce LSCs generation useful photo-active current. mathematically indicated Phthalocyanine’s for further use
