Three novel 2,6‐modified Bodipy sensitizers were synthesized and evaluated for their use in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Among them, dye B3 , which carries a n ‐pentyl group at position 8, exhibits the best solar energy conversion efficiency (1.83 %). The results of this study provide a new strategy for the design of Bodipy derivatives as sensitizers for DSSCs.
