Abstract: A thiaazulenic quinone TAQ was synthesized and its optical and redox properties were investigated. The deep blue-colored compound is readily and reversibly reduced to the colorless anionic state. Electrochromic films were prepared and showed reversible switching behavior for the anodically coloring and NIR electrochromic material.<br /> (© 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.)
