A Mo IV anion, a neutral Mo V complex, and a mixed‐valence Mo III /Mo IV cation are found within the same crystal of the title compound 1 , which is prepared by the reaction of [(Cp * MoBr 2 ) 2 ] with bromine in benzene. The coexistence of three oxidation states of molybdenum within 1 and the formation of 1 is rationalized based on the particular redox behavior of the individual constituents of the redox system Cp * MoBr/Br 2 . The anion [Cp * MoBr 4 ] − in 1 is shown on the right. Cp * η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 .
