Pushing and pulling by three tert ‐butyl and two carboxylic acid groups, respectively, results in a sensitizer (see picture) that exhibits an incident photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency of 75 %. A cell sensitized with this compound gives a short‐circuit photocurrent density of (6.50±0.20) mA cm −2 , an open‐circuit voltage of (635±30) mV, and a fill factor of 0.74±0.03, which corresponds to an overall conversion efficiency of 3.05 %.
