Claim Text:
1. A dye-sensitized solar cell comprising at least one compound of formula I wherein R straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 20 C atoms, which can be substituted by at least one R; or aryl with 6 to 10 C atoms, which can be substituted by at least one R, or R or R wherein a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 20 C atoms is upon each occurrence independently selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec.-butyl, tert.-butyl, 1-(2,2-dimethyl)-propyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, x-methylbutyl with x being 1; 2 or 3 x-methylpentyl with x being 1; 2; 3 or 4 x-methylhexyl with x being 1; 2; 3; 4 or 5, x-ethylpentyl with x being 1, 2 or 3 x-ethylhexyl with x being 1; 2; 3 or 4 n-nonyl, n-decyl, n-undecyl, n-tridecyl, n-tetradecyl, n-pentadecyl, n-hexadecyl, n-heptadecyl, n-octadecyl, n-nonadecyl and n-eicosyl, which can be substituted by at least one R; and R is independently: Hal; CN; C(O)H; straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 20 C atoms, which alkyl can be substituted by cycloalkyl having 5 to 6 C atoms or aryl having 6 to 10 C atoms in which the aryl group may be substituted by straight-chain or branched alkyl groups or alkoxy groups with 1 to 4 C atoms or by heteroaryl having 5 or 6 C atoms; straight-chain or branched alkenyl with 2 to 20 C atoms, which alkenyl can be substituted by aryl having 6 to 10 C atoms in which the aryl group may be substituted by straight-chain or branched alkyl groups with 1 to 4 C atoms; cycloalkyl having 5 or 6 C atoms; straight-chain or branched hydroxyalkyl with 1 to 20 C atoms; straight-chain or branched alkoxy with 1 to 20 C atoms, which alkoxy can be substituted by aryl having 6 to 10 C atoms; straight-chain or branched alkylthio with 1 to 20 C atoms; aryl with 6 to 10 C atoms in which the aryl group may be substituted by straight-chain or branched alkyl groups or alkoxy groups with 1 to 4 C atoms or by heteroaryl having 5 or 6 C atoms; heteroaryl with 5 to 10 C atoms in which a N atom of the heteroaryl group may be substituted by —O Hal is F, Cl, Br or I; including all tautomeric or stereoisomeric forms thereof.
