Non‐innocent ligand transition metal complexes are appealing due to their remarkable redox properties imparted by the presence of extensive metal(dπ)–ligand(π) bonding. The non‐innocent character derived from the mixing of ruthenium dπ and oxyquinolate or N ‐carboxyamidoquinolate π orbitals generates hybrid metal–ligand frontier orbitals that play a major role in contributing to an improved power conversion efficiency in a Ru non‐innocent ligand sensitized DSSC device.
