Efficient charge trapping and release in a nanoscale‐thick layer of iron polypyridyl complexes has been achieved in a prototype device. This redox process is controlled by a gate consisting of a layer of ruthenium complexes. As M. van der Boom et al. report in their Communication on page 2612, the gate can be opened and closed by applying a potential, thus allowing reversible electron transfer between the charge storage layer and a transparent conductive oxide.
