Abstract
Organic electronics are at the forefront of modern research, with goals of creating more efficient and environmentally benign devices. Organic molecules can achieve this as they typically result in materials that are solution-processable and less toxic than their transition-metal counterparts. Electrochromic molecules have unique color changing properties upon passing an electrical current making them highly sought after for colored displays, dimming mirrors, and smart windows. Part of my PhD work was devoted to developing a new class of electrochromic molecules, the phosphoryl-bridged viologens, with more favorable redox properties and new color changing modes. In order to understand the necessity and potential of new electrochromes, it is important to assess the history of the field and its future. In addition to designing new molecules for electrochromic devices, it is equally important to design a multifunctional species with a bright, competitive future across various organic electronic applications.
