Description
Summary:Viologens, with their three stable redox states, present an intriguing alternative for functional materials. Aside from their strong electrochromism, they exhibit competitive reduction features that are relevant for several technologies. The application of viologens in electrochromic devices, molecular machines and organic energy‐storage systems is highlighted, as well as how modifying the scaffold impacts the parent system's properties.
