The 1,2,3-triazole-containing tridentate ligands are readily functionalized with hydrophobic side chains by means of click chemistry and the corresponding cyclometalated Ru-II complexes are easily synthesized. The performance of these thiocyanate-free complexes in a dye-sensitized solar cell was tested and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 4.0\% (J(sc)=8.1mAcm(-2)}, issn = {0947-6539}, doi = {10.1002/chem.201301440}, author = {Schulze, Benjamin and Brown, Douglas G. and Robson, Kiyoshi C.
