Redox reactions can alter the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of molecules and their ensembles by adding or removing electrons. Here, the developments made over the past 10 years using molecular events are discussed, such as assembly/disassembly, transformation of ensembles, geometric changes, and molecular motions that are designed to be redox-responsive. Considerable progress has occurred in the application of these events to the realization of electronic memory, color displays, actuators, adhesives, and drug delivery. In these cases, systems behave in either a highly or a poorly correlated manner depending on the number of redox-active units involved, based on the method of integration. One of the great advantages of redox-responsive devices and materials is that they have the potential to be readily integrated into existing electronic technologies.
氧化还原反应可以通过添加或去除电子来改变分子及其聚集体的电子、光学和磁学性质。在这里，讨论了过去 10 年中使用分子事件（如组装/拆卸、聚集体的转变、几何变化和分子运动）所取得的进展，这些进展旨在实现氧化还原响应。这些事件在实现电子存储器、彩色显示器、致动器、粘合剂和药物输送方面的应用已经取得了相当大的进展。在这些情况下，根据集成方法，系统的行为要么是高度相关的，要么是低度相关的，这取决于涉及的氧化还原活性单元的数量。氧化还原响应器件和材料的一个巨大优势是，它们有可能很容易地集成到现有的电子技术中。
