The development of molecular materials with novel functionality offers promise for technological innovation. Switchable molecules that incorporate redox‐active components are enticing candidate compounds due to their potential for electronic manipulation. Lanthanoid metals are most prevalent in their trivalent state and usually redox‐activity in lanthanoid complexes is restricted to the ligand. The unique electronic and physical properties of lanthanoid ions have been exploited for various applications, including in magnetic and luminescent materials as well as in catalysis. Lanthanoid complexes are also promising for applications reliant on switchability, where the physical properties can be modulated by varying the oxidation state of a coordinated ligand. Lanthanoid‐based redox activity is also possible, encompassing both divalent and tetravalent metal oxidation states. Thus, utilization of redox‐active lanthanoid metals offers an attractive opportunity to further expand the capabilities of molecular materials. This review surveys both ligand and lanthanoid centered redox‐activity in pre‐existing molecular systems, including tuning of lanthanoid magnetic and photophysical properties by modulating the redox states of coordinated ligands. Ultimately the combination of redox‐activity at both ligands and metal centers in the same molecule can afford novel electronic structures and physical properties, including multiconfigurational electronic states and valence tautomerism. Further targeted exploration of these features is clearly warranted, both to enhance understanding of the underlying fundamental chemistry, and for the generation of a potentially important new class of molecular material.

The positive muon (μ+) can be regarded as a light isotope of proton and has been an important tool to study radical reactions of organic compounds. Recently, muons have been applied to produce short‐lived paramagnetic species from the heavier unsaturated organic molecules including the p‐block elements. This article overviews recent muon spin rotation/resonance (μSR) studies on the phosphorus analogs of alkenes, anthracenes, and cyclobutane‐1,3‐diyls together with the fundamentals of μSR. The acyclic phosphaalkene of P=C and phosphasilenes of P=Si can accept muonium (Mu=[μ+e−]) at the heavier double bonds, and the corresponding radicals have been characterized. The phosphorus atom in 9‐phosphaanthracene, whose P=C double bond is stabilized by the peri‐substituted CF3 groups, predominantly captures muonium to provide the corresponding paramagnetic fused heterocyclic system. The peri‐trifluoromethyl groups are functional to promote the unprecedented light isotope effect of muon providing the planar three‐cyclic molecular structure to consume the increased zero‐point energy. The formally open‐shell singlet 1,3‐diphosphacyclobutane‐2,4‐diyl unit can accept muonium at the (ylidic) phosphorus or the skeletal radicalic carbon, and the corresponding paramagnetic phosphorus heterocycles can be characterized by μSR. The findings on these muoniation processes to the unsaturated phosphorus‐containing compounds will contribute not only to development of novel paramagnetic functional species but also to progress on muon science.
