A series of bis(arylimino)acenaphthene (Ar-BIAN) CuI complexes have been synthesized in three or fewer steps. A comprehensive study of their electrochemical and spectroscopic properties has been performed. The Ar-BIAN CuI complexes herein have been incorporated into dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs...
