Chiral redox-polymers that have been enabled for electrochemically-controlled enantioselective interactions. Supramolecular chirality was leveraged for enhancing recognition toward target enantiomers. Chiral redox-metallopolymers were synthesized based on Ugi's amine-inspired chiral monomers, and their enantioselective recognition toward ionic enantiomers, such as tryptophan and naproxen, is demonstrated, with higher enhancement provided by a chiral redox-polymer over a single-site, chiral building block. 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and solid-state circular dichroism support supramolecular chirality resulting from the intramolecular interaction between the ferrocene and the alkyl group in the backbone. The chiral redox-metallopolymers can be used as a platform for electrochemically-modulated enantioselective interactions toward a range of amino acids and pharmaceutical carboxylates.

The invention relates to an electrochromic element comprising two substrates having electrically conductive insides, a layered operating electrode which comprises a metal complex compound and which is capable of entering into a redox reaction where the transition from the oxidized to the reduced state is attended by an increase of color depth and the transition from the reduced to the oxidized state is attended by a corresponding weakening of color, an electrolyte layer in the form of a transparent, flexible film, and a counterelectrode.sub.[ATI(D1] which is capable of intercalating mobile cations of the electrolyte material and/or of entering into a redox reaction in which when the material of the second electrode changes from the oxidized to the reduced state it exhibits no increase of color depth in the wavelength region of the increase of color depth of the metal complex compound and preferably is not subject to any increase of color depth at all, where the electrolyte layer comprises at least the following components: (a) a crosslinkable hybrid prepolymer, (b) a crosslinkable organic monomer or prepolymer, (c) a non-crosslinkable, thermoplastic organic polymer, and a dissociable salt whose inorganic cations can, in the presence of a charge difference between the operating electrode and the counterelectrode, move between the said electrodes.

Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from high levels of defectivity. The defects may be manifest as pin holes or spots where the electrochromic transition is impaired. This is unacceptable for many applications such as electrochromic architectural glass. Improved electrochromic devices with low defectivity can be fabricated by depositing certain layered components of the electrochromic device in a single integrated deposition system. While these layers are being deposited and/or treated on a substrate, for example a glass window, the substrate never leaves a controlled ambient environment, for example a low pressure controlled atmosphere having very low levels of particles. These layers may be deposited using physical vapor deposition.
