Resumen:	A novel series of complexes of the formula [Ru(4,4'-X-bpy)(Mebpy-CN)](PF) (X −CH, −OCH, −N(CH); Mebpy-CN = 4-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine-4'-carbonitrile) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and photophysical techniques. Inclusion of the electron-withdrawing substituent −CN at one bpy ligand and different electron-donor groups −X at the 4,4'-positions of the other two bpy ligands produce a fine tuning of physicochemical properties. Redox potentials, electronic absorption maxima, and emission maxima correlate well with Hammett's σ parameters of X. Quantum mechanical calculations are consistent with experimental data. All the complexes can be anchored through the nitrile moiety of Mebpy-CN over ZnO nanowires in dye-sensitized solar cells that exhibit an improvement of light to electrical energy conversion efficiency as the electronic asymmetry increases in the series.
