Positive to the core : Ullazine has both strong electron‐donating and weak accepting properties. This heterocycle was incorporated into sensitizers for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs). One of these sensitizers demonstrated strong light absorption across the UV/Vis region. The corresponding DSC device has a maximum IPCE of 95 % at 520 nm, with a power conversion efficiency of 8.4 %.
