Transmitting a domino reaction using redox chemistry achieved for the first time

https://phys.org/news/2024-01-transmitting-domino-reaction-redox-chemistry.html

"2-part molecule changes structurally when 1 part converted between its electrically neutral (reduced) and positively charged (oxidized) states, transmitting chemical effect to other part of molecule that makes its own oxidation more likely... 2 relatively large redox-active units connected by non-planar flexible link formed by sulfur atoms.... 1 oxidized upon heating acquires 2 positive charges triggering other part to twist around core, oxidizing neighboring group... chemical computation systems and sensors, batteries"
