The planar, centrosymmetric compound 1 is a promising electron‐donating component for the synthesis of organic metals. Produced in up to 14 % yield by reductive dimerization of dibromothienothiophene, the compound can be reversibly oxidized electrochemically to a conducting polymer (κ = 0.06 S cm −1 ). In a 1:1 ratio with iodine it also forms a conducting complex (0.11 S cm −1 ).
