Sterically unprotected thiophene/phenylene co‐oligomer radical cation salts BPnT .+ [Al(OR F ) 4 ] − (OR F =OC(CF 3 ) 3 , n =1–3) have been successfully synthesized. These newly synthesized salts have been characterized by UV/Vis‐NIR absorption and EPR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Their conductivity increases with chain length. The formed meso ‐helical stacking by cross‐overlapping radical cations of BP2T .+ is distinct from previously reported face‐to‐face overlaps of sterically protected (co‐)oligomer radical cations.
