Charge-transport kinetics of redox-active polymers is essential in designing electrochemical devices. We formulate the homogeneous and heterogeneous charge-transfer processes of the redox-active polymers dissolved in electrolytes. The critical electrochemical parameters, the apparent diffusion coefficient of charge transport ( ) and standard electrochemical reaction constant ( ), are estimated by considering the physical diffusion of polymer chains ( , ∝ ). The models are validated with previously reported compounds and newly synthesized hydrophilic macromolecules. Solution-type cells are examined to analyze their primary responses from the electrochemical viewpoints.

The functional properties of tetraaryl compounds, M(aryl) (M = transition metal or group 14 element), are dictated not only by their common tetrahedral geometry but also by their central atom. The identity of this atom may serve to modulate the reactivity, electrochemical, magnetic, and optical behavior of the molecular species, or of extended materials built from appropriate tetraaryl building blocks, but this has not yet been systematically evaluated. Toward this goal, here we probe the influence of Os(IV), C, and Si central atoms on the spectroelectrochemical properties of a series of redox-active tetra(ferrocenylaryl) complexes.

Ampicillin (AMP) ranks third among the top ten most frequently sold antibiotic combinations globally, raising concerns due to its extensive use. Improper disposal practices in agriculture, aquaculture, and healthcare have led to environmental contamination of water sources with elevated AMP levels. Current methods for detecting such contamination are costly, require sophisticated equipment, and depend on skilled personnel and unstable natural receptors.

Paddlewheel-type diruthenium(II,II) complexes are paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons ( = 1) and can be utilized as versatile building blocks for higher-order structures, such as supramolecular complexes, coordination polymers, and metal-organic frameworks, although they are generally highly air-sensitive. In this study, we developed an air-stable paddlewheel-type diruthenium(II,II) complex with two electron-withdrawing 1,8-naphthyridine-2-carboxylate (npc) ligands, [Ru(μ-npc)(OCMe)] (1). The two acetate ligands in 1 can be replaced by other carboxylate ligands; the solvothermal reactions of 1 with benzoic acid (HOCPh) yields the heteroleptic [Ru(μ-npc)(OCPh)] (2), whereas its reaction with 1,8-naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Hnpc) produces the homoleptic [Ru(μ-npc)(η-npc)] (3).

Polymer-based aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) are attracting increasing attention as a promising next-generation energy storage technology due to their potential for low cost and environmental friendliness. The search for new redox-active organic compounds for incorporation into polymer materials is ongoing, with anolyte-type compounds in high demand. In response to this need, we have synthesized and tested a range of new water-soluble redox-active s-tetrazine derivatives, including both low molecular weight compounds and polymers with different architectures.
