Reported herein are six novel metal free organic dyes such as PCA1-PCA3 and PCTA1-PCTA3 featuring fused heterocyclic structural motifs such as phenothiazine and alkylcarbazole. Photophysical/electrochemical properties and nanocrystalline TiO2 based dye-sensitized solar cell performance of the same have been investigated. Electronic distribution within the molecules has been determined through a computational approach. The overall power conversion efficiencies of the devices with the utilization of dyes PCA1-PCA3 and PCTA1-PCTA3 as sensitizers ranges between 4.67 and 8.08%. The novel dyes possessing cyanoacrylic acid as electron acceptor, PCA1-PCA3, exhibit higher power conversion efficiency, short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and electron lifetime those with thioxothiazolidinylacetic acid, PCTA1-PCTA3, as the same. Of the devices fabricated by employing the new metal-free organic sensitizers, that with the dye PCA2 exerted a power conversion efficiency (PCE, η) of 8.08% with a short circuit current density (JSC) of 16.45 mA cm-2, an open circuit voltage (VOC) of 735 mV and a fill factor (ff) of 0.68; this PCE is the highest amongst the devices fabricated.

A novel molecule, 10-(9-hexyl-9H-carbazol-3yl)-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde (CZPTZA) has been synthesized and characterized through FT-IR, UV–Vis, NMR spectroscopic studies and molecular orbital calculations. Optimized geometrical structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies and NMR are computed with B3LYP method using 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. The geometrical parameters of the title compound obtained from Single Crystal XRD studies have been found in accord with the calculated (DFT) values. The experimentally observed vibrational frequencies are compared with the calculated ones, which were found to be in good agreement with each other. UV–Vis spectra of the title compound have also been recorded and the electronic properties, viz. excitation energies, calculated energies, oscillator strengths, frontier orbital energies and band gap energies are computed with TD-DFT/CAM-B3LYP method using 6-311++G (d,p) as the basis set. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of the molecule have been calculated by the Gauge Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method and compared with the experimental outcome. Also, the values of dipole moment, polarizabilities and first order hyperpolarizabilities have been computed.
