Stable π‐conjugated anions are formed in the reaction of π‐conjugated systems with alkali metals. Reactivity, aromatic properties and aggregation of the anions are described. Bowl‐shaped and fullerene anions, as well as helicene and planar polycyclic anions, are discussed vis‐à‐vis their aromaticity and charge delocalization pattern.
