Synthetic metals based on tetrachalcogenafulvalene donor molecules have received much attention. Unlike the thia‐, selena‐, and tellura‐derivatives, tetraoxafulvalenes (TOFs) are rare, because of difficulties in their preparation and isolation. Here is presented the first unequivocal synthesis, spectral characterization, and X‐ray structure determination of TOF derivatives—dibenzo‐ (see Figure) and dinaphtho‐TOF.
