Best solar cell characteristics for cells sensitized with [Fe(cpbmi)2](PF6)2 (reference), [Fe(cpbmi)(dtapbmi)](PF6)2 and [Fe(cpbmi)(daapbmi)](PF6)2. Open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current density (Jsc), short-circuit current density obtained from integration of the IPCE spectrum with respect to the AM1.5G solar spectrum (Jsc,IPCE), fill-factor (FF), power conversion efficiency (PCE) and dye loading are included (see ESI.10 for details). Average of four devices in parentheses.
