AB  - In this study, 1[-2 (Trifluoromethyl) Benzylidene] Thiosemicarbazide (2-TBT) with a proposed D-π-A
molecular arrangement was synthesized as promising sensitizers for solar cell application. The compound was
characterized by CHNS micro-elemental analyses, IR, UV-VIS, XRD, <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR. The compound was also
coated on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) glass substrate through spin coating technique in order to fabricate
2-TBT/ITO thin film. The thin film was tested for electrical conductivity and was found to exhibit a conductivity
of 0.1498 S/cm at 125 W/m2 in a diluted concentration of 1&times;10<sup>&#150;5</sup> M.
