Abstract

6-O-[Acetylacetonato-bis(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)]-2,3-di-O-myristyl cellulose (3) was prepared from 2,3-di-O-myristyl cellulose (1) by two reaction steps in 37.7 % total yield. The LB monolayer film of compound 3 was successfully deposited onto an indium tin oxide electrode by a vertical dipping method and showed photocurrent generation performance in the range of 400–600 nm. Compound 3 was expected as a complementary material of porphyrin-bound cellulose derivative for biomaterial-based solar cells.
