Abstract

A new 7-{[1H-indol-3-ylmethylidene]amino}-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one dye (3) was synthesized by the reaction of 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin with indole-3-carbaldehyde in EtOH using GAA as a catalyst. The photophysical properties of the synthesized compound were studied using UV-visible and photoluminescence spectrophotometer. Redox onset potential for the dye compound was recorded through a cyclic voltammogram (CV), which aids to calculate the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) values. The experimental and theoretical HOMO–LUMO values were calculated using the density functional theory (DFT). Moreover, the I-V characteristics were evaluated by two-sense Keithley source in dark and light medium by using a mercury lamp as a light source. The results of the I-V study showed that the compound (3) possesses good light-absorbing capability with a high molar absorption extinction coefficient (0.80 × 10−5 Ɛ). Therefore, the I-V characteristics suggest the efficiency of obtained dye for photovoltaic uses.
