Abstract
We present the synthesis and characterization of a commercial standard ruthenium dye namely, N3, by cheap and easily prepared starting materials from three synthetic routes: the Grätzel’s protocol and the other two new methods designed in our laboratory, i.e., the one-pot reaction and via the reaction of cymeme complex.
Keywords
