The complex 4 is characterized by infrared (IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The synthesized complex was used as a sensitizer in a solar cell structure. From the current density (J)-voltage (V) curve obtained, the values of the short-circuit current density (JSC), maximum current density (JM), open-circuit voltage (VOC) and maximum voltage (VM) for the complex 4 were determined as 6.68 mA/cm(2), 4.73 mA/cm(2), 0.56 V and 0.41 V, respectively. Using these parameters, the fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency value (eta) of complex 4 were calculated as 0.52 and 1.94, respectively. This value shows that complex 4 can be used as an effective sensitiser in solar cell applications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPyrenephotovoltaicimineFe (II) complexArticle233425428Q4WOS:000753901000013Q32-s2.0-8512611288610.30955/gnj.003754
