Electrochemistry is in the center of contemporary green and sustainable chemistry. Notably, in recent times, the electrochemical synthesis of fine chemicals and functional polymers has advanced to an unprecedented stage where very powerful and precise synthetic protocols are at hand. Further, organic electrochemistry toward materials for energy applications has evolved substantially, with the aim to work towards a solution of the current energy crisis. To a significant part, this is thanks to the progress made on controlling and understanding the redox behavior of designer molecular and macromolecular materials.

To showcase this area of research, the present thematic issue focuses on the recent advances in molecular and macromolecular electrochemistry. The scope of this interdisciplinary issue ranges from synthetic aspects (such as electrosynthesis and reaction mechanisms) to materials science (including redox properties and devices).
