The most frequently used scaffolds in supramolecular chemistry are typically redox active and susceptible to electron transfer. As a basic tool, electrochemical techniques assist in the generation of active species, which leads to altered interactions between molecules. Meanwhile, more information on energy and kinetics that is not available with other characterization techniques can be provided. In this review, the typically examples on applying electrochemical techniques in supramolecular chemistry are briefly summarized.
- Supramolecular chemistry,
- Electrochemistry,
- Noncovalent interaction,
- Redox control,
- Cyclic voltammetry
