Abstract: In the present work, we report a convenient synthesis with a microwave reactor of [Ru(quo)(dcbpy)2]+Cl (quo = 8-hydroxyquinolinate, dcbpy = 2,2′-bipyridinyl-4,4′-dicarboxyl acid) and of the parental complex [Ru(Me2-quo)(dcbpy)2] +Cl (Me2-quo = 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinolinate) along with their electrochemical and photovoltaic characterization. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
