Abstract

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "An unconventional helical push-pull system for solar cells" (Dova et al., 2019). This article provides: a) the cyclic voltammogram plots in solution of helical push-pull sensitizers and the corresponding precursors; b) the visualization of the leading natural transition orbital (NTO) pairs obtained by theoretical calculation of frontiers orbitals; c) J/V curves of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) sensitized by the dyes, without 3a,7a-dihydroxy-5b-cholic acid (CDCA) as co-adsorbent agent; d) ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of dyes.
