In this review, which is mostly focused on the concepts and work developed in the author’s laboratory, the access and properties of electron‐reservoir (redox‐robust) transition‐metal complexes with sufficiently negative redox potentials and their branching to the tethers of dendrimers and other related nanodevices are highlighted, with the idea of designing dendritic molecular batteries.
