A bis-dipyrromethane ligand, 4,4'-bis(1,1-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl, [H-BDPM-BPh] (), is synthesized via acid-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution of 2,4-dimethylpyrrole with 4,4'-diacetylbiphenyl. Subsequent deprotonation of with -BuLi yields the corresponding Li-salt [Li-BDPM-BPh] (). Transmetalation involving and either CoCl or [Co(HMDS)] (HMDS = -N(Si(CH))) results in dinuclear Co(II) complexes.

- - Perovskite solar cells are promising for future solar technology, but their commercialization is hindered by stability issues, with current aging tests lacking reliability.
- - A new industrial encapsulation process using a highly viscous adhesive helps reduce stress at key interfaces and incorporates hexagonal boron nitride to enhance thermal and barrier properties.
- - This encapsulation method has proven effective in prolonged aging tests, maintaining over 80% efficiency, and is adaptable for various cell types, including semi-transparent designs for building-integrated solar applications.
