<b>Abstract.</b> The stepwise assembly of nanoscale layers of molecules is an attractive and versatile approach for designing functional thin films. This approach enables fabrication of materials that can hold and release charge in response to external stimuli coupled with color changes.<sup>1</sup> We will demonstrate the fabrication of a multilevel per bit organic memory cell composed of redox-active ruthenium, iron, and osmium polypyridyl complexes. The organic memory cell is dual function: the information can be read optically as well as electrochemically. Such coatings might have interesting applications including new read-while-write devices with both electrochemical and optical read-out<br/>1. Hamo, Y., Lahav, M. & van der Boom, M. E.
