Hexaethynyl[3]radialene (1 a) is isoelectronic and isosteric with the known hexacyano[3]radialene and a molecular precursor for a two‐dimensional all‐carbon network. The hexakis(trimethylsilyl) derivative 1 b was now prepared by addition of tetrachlorocyclopropene to deprotonated 1,5‐bis(trimethylsilyl)penta‐1,4‐diyne, followed by oxidation, and was characterized by X‐ray crystallography. In solution, 1 b shows an unexpected purple‐red color and is reduced in two reversible one‐electron steps to the violet radical anion 1 b and dianion 1 b 2− .
