    Abstract Organic cathode materials are promising candidates for a new generation of ‘green batteries’, since they have low toxicity and can be produced from renewable resources or from petroleum. This review shows that organic redox polymers can show excellent battery performance regarding cycling stability and rate capability, and attractive specific capacities are accessible. Radical polymers and redox polymers based on heteroaromatics demonstrate superior rate capabilities and cycling stabilities at fast C-rates as well as high discharge potentials of 3–4 V versus Li/Li, while quinone- or imide-based polymers deliver high specific capacities of up to 260 mAh g −1 with stable cycling at moderate C-rates and lower discharge potentials. This review article highlights the underlying design principles showcasing selected examples of well-performing redox polymers.

    Abstract The efficiency of the photo-induced electron transfer in photoredox catalysis is limited by the diffusional collision of the excited catalyst and the substrate. We herein present cavity-bound photoredox catalysts, which preassociate the substrates, leading to significantly shortened reaction times. A pillar[5]arene serves as the cavity and phenothiazine as a catalyst in the reductive dehalogenation of aliphatic bromides as a proof of concept reaction.

    Abstract Antiaromaticity is a fundamental concept in chemistry, but the study of molecular wires incorporating antiaromatic units is limited. Despite initial predictions, very few studies show that antiaromaticity has a beneficial effect on electron transport. Dibenzo[a,e]pentalene (DBP) is a stable structure that displays appreciable antiaromaticity within the five-membered rings of the pentalene core. We have investigated derivatives of DBP furnished with pyridyl (Py) and F4-pyridyl (PyF4) anchor groups, and compared the conductance with purely aromatic phenyl and anthracene analogues. We find that the low-bias conductance of DBP-Py is approximately 60% larger than that of the anthracene analogue Anth-Py and 250% larger compared to the phenyl derivative Ph-Py. This is due to a better alignment of the LUMO with the gold Fermi level, which we confirm by conductance-voltage spectroscopy where the conductance of DBP-Py shows the greatest voltage-dependence. The F4-pyridyl compounds, which have lower LUMO energies compared to the pyridyl analogues, did not, however, form detectable molecular junctions. The strongly electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms reduce the donor capability of the nitrogen lone-pair to the point where stable N-Au bonds no longer form.

    Abstract Organic battery electrode materials offer the unique opportunity for full cells to operate in an anion-rocking chair mode. For this configuration a pair of p-type redox-active electrode materials is required with a substantial potential gap between their redox processes. We herein investigate viologen-functionalized polystyrenes as negative electrode paired with a phenothiazine polymer as positive electrode in all-organic full cells.

    Abstract A novel class of cyclic conjugated molecules, composed of annelated five- and six-membered rings, is proposed and theoretically investigated using density functional theory and multireference methods with regards to their structures, strain energies, aromaticity (NICS values), electronic ground states, band gaps, and the effect of substituents. These [5.5.6]ncyclacenes are predicted to be low band gap materials (below 1 eV) with, depending on their size, closed-shell singlet ground states. The strain energies from n = 4 upwards lie in the range of the synthetically known [n]cycloparaphenylenes. An investigation of the effect of rim-substitution by methyl, alkynyl, thiomethyl or phenyl groups on the electronic ground states showed that thiomethyl-substitution leads to [5.5.6]ncyclacenes with closed-shell singlet ground states for all sizes n investigated.

    Abstract Charge-transfer-based materials with intramolecular donor-acceptor structures are attractive for technological applications. Herein, a series of donor-σ-acceptor dyes has been prepared in a modular approach. The design of these intramolecular charge-transfer dyes is based on the concept of spiroconjugation, which leads to unique materials with special optical properties. The optical transitions are based on intramolecular charge transfer, as shown by solvatochromic measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Crystallographic, computational, electrochemical, and optical studies were performed to clarify the effect of different perpendicular π-moieties on the optoelectronic properties. Our molecular tuning allowed for the synthesis of molecules exhibiting strong visible-range absorption. The compounds are not fluorescent due to structural changes in the excited state, as revealed by DFT calculations. Finally, our study describes enantiomerically pure spiroconjugated absorber molecules using 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol (BINOL) units on the donor part.

    Abstract Organic electrode materials based on conjugated dicarboxylate moieties are particularly attractive to develop metal-ion organic batteries. Exhibiting good stability properties in liquid electrolytes, such organic electrode materials can reversibly store alkali metal ions (Li, Na or K) at low working potential. Although many molecular designs have been investigated in the last decade, conjugated dicarboxylates are impeded by low coulombic efficiencies, especially at the first cycle, and sluggish kinetics in most cases. Herein, a new strategy in the design of conjugated carboxylates by fusing a thiadiazole heterocycle to the terephthalate core is reported. The synthesis and electrochemical performance of dilithium-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-dicarboxylate (Li
