Amphoteric tellurium‐containing π‐donors'acceptors are reported. The electrical and magnetic properties of the charge‐transfer complexes and radical cation salts prepared from 1 (see Figure; X Te, R 1 Me) are presented. 1 exhibits a remarkably low oxidation potential compared with S analogues and a one‐step two‐electron reduction potential, indicating that its derivatives could also be of use as the first Te‐containing organic electron acceptors.
