Light‐stimulated electrode processes at semiconductors in contact with electrolytes are attracting attention as they offer a potentially efficient means of converting light into electrical or chemical energy. The title compound, which is an organic p‐type semiconductor, has a small band gap and exhibits high durabiity making it an interesting new cathode material for solar‐driven electrolysis.
