Overcoming a long‐standing challenge : A rational synthetic procedure allows the isolation of the first stable η 4 ‐dithio‐ para ‐benzoquinone complex ( 2 ; Cp*=C 5 Me 5 ). The X‐ray molecular structure of 2 confirms the coordination of the elusive intermediate 1 in an η 4 manner. Computational analyses of 2 support the role of the {Cp*Ir} fragment in stabilizing this reactive intermediate.
