A new dinuclear Ru(II) complex where two Ru atoms are separated by a bridge consisting of a 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole acceptor moiety flanked on either side by 2,5-thienyl donor units was synthesized. This rather simple complex appears to behave as a photoactive donor when blended with a fullerene as acceptor, thus being a first step toward novel bulk heterojunction solar cells, based on Ru donor systems.
