A trisheteroleptic thiocyanate‐free Ru II complex gives high power‐conversion efficiencies ( η ) in a dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC). In their Communication on page 10 682 ff., C. P. Berlinguette et al. report the design of this complex bearing a bidentate ligand that serves to suppress the interaction between the electrolyte and the TiO 2 surface and an anionic cyclometalating ligand that renders a broad and intense absorption range.
