Recent developments in the redox-switched binding of organic compounds

摘要

This review summarizes and puts into context recent advances in the field of redox-switched binding processes, with particular reference to the interaction between redox-active compounds and organic compounds, both charged and neutral. Simple homogeneous, two-component systems are discussed at first as a precursor to sections on more advanced systems (e.g. multi-component and multi-pole) and binding processes involving components attached to a surface.
