The synthesis, metalation, and redox properties of an acyclic bis(iminothienyl)methene L − are presented. This π‐conjugated anion displayed pronounced redox activity, undergoing facile one‐electron oxidation to the acyclic, metal‐free, neutral radical L . on reaction with FeBr 2 . In contrast, the reaction of L − with CuI formed the unique, neutral Cu 2 I 2 ( L . ) complex of a ligand‐centered radical, whereas reaction with the stronger oxidant AgBF 4 formed the metal‐free radical dication L .2+ .
