Efficient light harvesting : Cyclometalated ruthenium complexes were synthesized and evaluated in a dye‐sensitized solar cell as near‐IR sensitizers. Tuning of the HOMO energy level by structural modifications of the ligand improved the conversion efficiency of the cells based on these complexes to up to 10.7 %.
