Combined experimental and DFT-TDDFT study of photo-active constituents of Canarium odontophyllum for DSSC application

- Constituents of COP are found to be potential sensitizers in DSSC.
- Results of experimental and DFT/TDDFT calculations are compared.
- Anchoring groups of dye molecules are deduced from experimental and calculated data.
- Multiple anchoring of a dye may affect photo-energy conversion efficiency.
