One ligand, four anions! Four anionic forms of a single ligand bis[ N ‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene (dpp‐bian) were isolated on a preparative scale for the first time and unambiguously characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The ligand, dpp‐bian, may be easily reduced in diethyl ether by sodium metal to give the mono‐, di‐, tri‐, or tetranion (depicted).
