D-pi-A-based dyes find a wide range of applications in molecular electronics and photovoltaics in general and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) in particular. We speculated whether there exists a relationship between the degree of aromaticity of the pi-spacers used in the D-pi-A type dyes and their structural, electronic, energetic, photophysical, and intramolecular charge transfer properties. Triphenylamine (TPA) and cyanoacrylic acid (CAA) have been chosen as the donor and acceptor, respectively. In order to carry out the investigation systematically the pi-spacers have been logically chosen based on their experimental resonance energies, which follows the order, furan < pyrrole < thiophene < pyridine < benzene. All the properties have been discussed based on the degree of aromaticity of the pi-spacers. Geometric properties such as dihedral angles and bond lengths have been discussed extensively. Energy levels of the frontier molecular orbitals, electrochemical properties, namely, ground and excited state oxidation potentials (GSOP/ESOP), and change in Gibbs free energy for electron injection and regeneration (Delta G(ing)/Delta G(reg)) have also been evaluated. Photophysical properties like wavelength of maximum absorption (lambda(max)), oscillator strength (f), light harvesting efficiency (LHE), and intramolecular charge transfer properties, viz., charge transfer distance (D-CT), fraction of charge transferred (q(CT)) and change in dipole moment (mu(CT)) have been assessed. The adsorption characteristics of dye with (TiO2)(9) nanocluster have been studied along with their optical properties. Results reveal that the nature of the relationship between the aforementioned properties and the extent of aromaticity of the pi-spacers is inherently multifaceted. It thus turns out that it is highly difficult to quantify the relationship. These properties of D-pi(1)-pi(2)-A molecules can be regarded to be arising from two groups, namely, pi-spacers with lower and higher resonance energies. This results in a natural trade-off in selection of competing properties. The qualitative aromaticity photovoltaic property relationship thus obtained may serve as a guide to tailor-design various properties of D-pi-A type dyes for application in the intramolecular charge transfer devices.
