Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the color changes achieved, upon oxidation, by newly synthesized electrochromic oxygen‐doped small molecules. The crucial moieties are furano and pyrano. Incorporation of these groups into other organic molecules can be used to greatly expand the library of electrochromic small molecules, giving very good control over color transition observed. Such controlled color changes could take electrochromism from the niche applications it currently occupies, to the wider world. Cover design by Adriana Lopez‐Biagi.
