Electrons are difficult to accumulate on a given molecular unit , but the presence of the strong Lewis acid Sc 3+ leads to a champion lifetime of a two‐electron reduction product in the absence of sacrificial reagents. This shows that metal ion‐coupled electron transfer (MCET) can be exploited for accumulation of reducing equivalents on quinones. Multi‐photon, multi‐electron reactions are of key importance for artificial photosynthesis. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Kuss‐Petermann and O. S. Wenger on page 10808.
