Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19735733A1] Coupled electrochromic substances (I) have covalent bridge(s) linking oxidizable group(s), which yield electrons at an anode, and reducible group(s), which accept electrons at a cathode, which are converted from weakly coloured or colourless forms to coloured forms, with an increase in the visible extinction, and revert when the charge is equalised. (I) are of formula:Y(BZ)a(BY)bcBZ (where, Y, Z = OX2 or RED1 groups, with at least one Y = OX2 and at least one Z = RED1; OX2 = the residue of a cationic redox system undergoing reversible electrochemical reduction with an anion X<-> as counterion; RED1 = the residue of a redox system capable of reversible electrochemical oxidation; B = a bridging group; a, b, c = 0-5; X<-> = an anion which (a) has a molecular weight of over 200, preferably over 250 g/mole and/or is (almost) spherical and has a pronounced delocalisation of the negative charge). Independent claims are also included for (a) an electrochromic system; (b) an electrochromic liquid containing this system and inert solvent(s); and (c) an electrochromic device containing the liquid.
