title: From electron-reservoir complexes to dendritic molecular nanobatteries.
abstract: 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.
