To provide a photo-sensitizing dye and its ligand which has good photoelectric conversion efficiency and especially enhanced durability (especially high temperature durability), as well as to provide an oxide semiconductor electrode containing those and a dye-sensitized solar cell.
A divalent transition metal complex includes: a bipyridyl acid ligand (i) such as a dicarboxybipyridine (dcbpy) ligand, as an adsorption site to an oxide semiconductor particle surface such as titanium dioxide; a ligand (ii) selected from among an isothiocyanate group, an isocyanato group, and an isoselenocyanato group, which enables absorption and excitation of a long wavelength, and charge transfer; and a bipyridyl (bpy) ligand (iii) directly or conjugatedly linked to an aryl or heteroaryl group-substituted heterocyclic five-membered ring, which enhances absorbance of a transition metal complex, and also enhances a bathochromatic effect of absorption. The photosensitizing dye having the structure is also disclosed.
