A window of opportunity : The ligand‐centred redox activity of complex 1 (depicted) is exploited to make an electrochromic window, which demonstrates rapid and reversible changes in optical transmission at 940 nm. The window is made by adsorbing 1 onto a nanocrystalline Sb‐doped SnO 2 film attached to a transparent conducting substrate and cycling the applied potential through the catecholate/semiquinone redox couple.
