Electroactive materials and beneficial agents having a solubilizing moiety

An electrochromic medium for use in an electrochromic device, comprising:

• at least one solvent;
• a cathodic electroactive material;
• an anodic electroactive material;
• wherein at least one of the cathodic and anodic electroactive materials is electrochromic;
• and
• a beneficial agent, wherein the beneficial agent includes a solubilizing moiety which serves to increase solubility of the beneficial agent relative to the same without the solubilizing moiety.

An electrochromic device, comprising:

• at least one substantially transparent substrate having an electrically conductive material associated therewith;
• and
• an electrochromic medium which comprises:
• at least one solvent;
• a cathodic electroactive material;
• an anodic electroactive material;
• wherein at least one of the cathodic and anodic electroactive materials is electrochromic;
• and
• wherein at least one of the cathodic and anodic electroactive materials is associated with a solubilizing moiety which serves to increase solubility of one or both of the associated cathodic and anodic electroactive materials relative to the same without the solubilizing moiety.
