Being positive about anions : Hydrocarbon complexes containing negative‐valent Hf are obtained for the first time as tris(polyarene)hafnates(2−), polyarene=anthracene (An) and naphthalene, where the latter functions as a synthon for the unknown atomic Hf 2− (see scheme, cot=1,3,5,7‐cyclooctatetraene). Tris(anthracene)metalates(2−) of Ti and Zr were also accessed, which completes an unprecedented triad of tris(arene)metal complexes.
