47. as(NCS) band in the IR spectrum is not so strong. It appears as a shoulder indicating probably that the NCS ligand is coordinated via the sulfur atom as well. Preliminary photo-electrochemical experiments with the crystallized sample containing only the N-isomer showed an improved power conversion efficiency of η = 1.86% (instead of 1.70%).
