Abstract: Anew type of charge transfer complex of a hemicyanine dye containing zinc complex anion:[(CH3)2NC6H4 CHCH C10 H6NC18 H37]2Zn(dmit)2(where dmit=4,5-dimercato-1,3-dithiole-2-thione)(A2S) has been studied on its LBfilm property and photoelectric conversion from its LBfilm modified ITOelectrode compared with a hemicyanine dye iodide: (CH3)2NC6H4 CHCH C!0 H6NC18 H37 I(AI). The results show that the quantum yield of A2Sis 1.8-fold increased in comparison with that for AI. This can be explained by the fact that when the conductive zinc complex anion is used to replace I - to form hemicyanine complex, the LBfilm property can be improved and also the charge separation of the hemicyanine dye become more effective. This kind of compound can be evaluated as a promising photoelectric conversion material.

Key words: Hemicyanine dye, Znic complex anion, LB film, ITO-electrode, Photoelectric conversion
