Stable, Dual Redox Unit Organic Electrodes.

ABSTRACT: The development of organic materials for electrochemical energy storage has attracted great attention because of their high natural abundance and relatively low toxicity. The bulk of these studies focus on small molecules, polymers, or porous/framework-type materials that employ one type of redox moiety. Here, we report the synthesis and testing of organic materials that incorporate two distinct types of redox units: triptycene-based quinones and perylene diimides. We examine this "dual redox" concept through the synthesis of both frameworks and small molecule model compounds with the redox units positioned at the vertices and connection points. Such a design increases the theoretical capacity of the material. It also imparts high stability because both examples are relatively rigid and hi
