Redox‐controllable molecular switches composed of two interlocking rings are incorporated here into Langmuir films starting from two different redox states. The morphologies of the resulting monolayers and their current–voltage characteristics are then investigated. These switches are considered to be ideal candidates for the fabrication of molecule‐based electronic devices.
