Used as an electron donor material in Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cells.

Tin(IV) 2,3-naphthalocyanine dichloride (SnNcCl₂) belongs to the family of metal based phthalocyanines. They are widely used as an electron donor material in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. The use of SnNcCl2 in OPVs increases its power conversion efficiencies since it absorbs light in the near infrared and infra-red portions of the electromagnetic spectrum which accounts for 50% of the solar photon flux.
