The ability of the easily reducible tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) ligand to bridge up to four metal centers and to adopt any oxidation state between 0 and -2 has generated a unique coordination chemistry with potential applications in molecular magnetism, electrochromism, and molecular computing. The coordination chemistry of electroactive, tetradonorsubstituted olefins is much less explored but ma...

Major efforts have been spent during recent years in worldwide attempts to achieve an electronic paper technology; the common name for novel flexible displays utilizing substrates such as paper, plastics or thin metal sheets. Various kinds of technology are available that potentially will be used for an electronic paper, which differs from each other mainly with respect to the choice of active ...

Photosynthetic water oxidation by photosystem II is mediated by a Mn4 cluster, a cofactor X still chemically ill-defined, and a tyrosine, YZ (D1-Tyr161). Before the final reaction with water proceeds to yield O2 (transition S4-->S0), two oxidizing equivalents are stored on Mn4 (S0-->S1-->S2), a third on X (S2-->S3), and a forth on YZ(S3-->S4). It has been proposed that YZ functions as a pure el...

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2002 olecular magnetism is an evolving discipline relying on quantum chemistry, orbitals and Hamiltonians, organic and coordination chemistries, physics, and devices. Among the exciting molecule-based magnetic systems, Prussian blue analogues occupy a peculiar position. Prussian blue itself was described for the first time in 1704. Since this time, t...

The discovery of semi-conducting and conducting organic materials has opened new possibilities for electronic devices and systems. Applications, previously unattainable for conventional electronics, have become possible thanks to the development of conjugated polymers. Conjugated polymers that are both ionand electron conducting, allow for electrochemical doping and de-doping via reversible pro...

The young journal Electrochemical Science Advances copublished by Wiley-VCH and Chemistry Europe has had a great start. Its constitution reflects the increasing interest in electrochemical research development. content is therefore devoted not only to fundamental electrochemistry but (importantly) consequential applications like generation storage of electricity, photovoltaics, corrosion, senso...
