ABSTRACT:
This present invention provides a metal-ligand complex and methods for using and preparing the same. In particular, the metal-ligand complex of the present invention is of the formula:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?La-M-Xbin-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?where L, M, X, a, and b are those define herein. The metal-ligand complexes of the present invention are useful in a variety of applications including as electron-transfer mediators in dye-sensitized solar cells and related photoelectrochromic devices.
