Viologens and Their Application as Functional Materials
Abstract
Organic materials have recently gained considerable attention for electronic applications, improving performance and sustainability to current technologies. Commercialized metal‐based systems are generally expensive, toxic and difficult to recycle, however organic materials offer promising solutions. Viologens, N,N′ di‐quaternized bipyridyl salts, are a well‐studied species exhibiting three reversible redox states, possessing valuable electrochromic and electron‐accepting properties. These properties can be fine‐tuned through synthesis by altering the nitrogen substituents and various counteranions. Currently, viologens have become of great interest as functional materials in a wide array of applications; a few to name include electrochromic devices, molecular machines, and organic batteries. This review highlights representative recent work and advances towards utilizing viologens in practical applications that currently compete with metal‐based technologies. Additionally, modified viologens that can be further fine‐tuned will be discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
