•  The  high  stabilization  of  the  cuprous  and  cupric  states  in  R3+,  afforded  an  enhanced  redox  state  
separation  related  to  the  large  switching  rates.	
	
	
•  The  wide  redox  hysteresis  and  the  fast  electrochemical  response  exhibited  by  R3+  makes  it  a  very  
promising  candidate  for  the  development  of  redox-­‐‑switching  molecular  devices.
