Reversible Electroactive Behavior in a Zn-Based Metal-Organic Framework via Mild Oxidation Potential

Electrochemically driven physical properties of solid-state materials: action mechanisms and control schemes

The various physical properties recently induced by solid-state electrochemical reactions must be comprehensively understood, and their mechanisms of action should be elucidated. Reversible changes in conductivity, magnetism, and colour have been achieved by combining the redox reactions of d metal ions and organic materials, as well as the molecular and crystal structures of solids. This review describes the electrochemically driven physical properties of conductors, magnetic materials, and electrochromic materials using various electrochemical devices.

Exploring redox properties of a 3D Co-based framework with bis(triarylamine) terphenyl as a redox-active linker

A 3D Co-based metal-organic framework has been prepared, which contains a bis(triarylamine) with terphenyl units as a redox-active linker. Manipulation of the redox events via the electrochemical method confirmed that charge hopping is dominant within the 3D framework. Investigation of the in situ spectroelectrochemical properties within the structure leads to the formation of mono and dual radical cations obtained reversibly in two-steps due to the presence of two redox-active sites.
