Your newly designed battery material does not show electrochemical activity? Have you tried turning it off and on again? We have. Using viologen zwitterions we could activate them with the electrolyte salt and generate an electroactive disalt with anion insertion.

From Neutral Zwitterion to Electroactive Disalt: Electrochemical Insights into Double Zwitterionic Viologens for Anion‐Insertion Batteries
This study investigates and compares two viologen–carboxylate materials featuring double zwitterionic backbones as host materials. The disalt form exhibits electrochemical activity via a reversible a...

Working with pyrenetetraone (PTO) building blocks? Check out our new protective group strategy to facilitate their syntheses! As a joint venture with @DumeleLab, we present a simple solution to some preparative difficulties of using PTOs in functional materials. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Enhanced Solubility and Deprotection of Pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraones through Propylene Glycol and Propanediol Protection
Pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO) is a building block of significant interest for functional organic materials. Due to the sensitivity of the vicinal diones toward bases and metal-ion chelation, and low ...
