| Research Abstract |
To develop functional dyes based on naturally occurring chlorophylls, sensing component for alcohol detection or light-harvesting molecules for solar cells were designed and synthesized. Trifluoroacetyl-chlorin was applied to an optical sensor, and the developed membrane was successful for determination of ethanol concentration in water. On the other hand, a series of(bacterio) chlorin derivatives possessing a carboxylic acid moiety were synthesized. Efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cells based on these dye molecules was much improved compared to those of traditional porphyrin derivatives.
