Redox‐Active Sulphur Diimide Ligand Anion radicals of R−N=S=N−R have never been isolated or structurally characterized. In their Full Paper on page 1278 ff., N P. Gritsan, R. T. Boeré, P. W. Roesky, A. V. Zibarev, S. N. Konchenko et al. report the first Cp* 2 Ln complexes (Ln = Sm, Eu, Yb; R = NSiMe 3 ) of sulphur diimides and demonstrate by exhaustive characterisation (X‐ray diffraction, EPR, UV‐Vis‐NIR spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry and rigorous ab initio computational methods) that these powerful reducing agents transfer an electron to the coordinated thiazyl ligand. A brand new world of redox non‐innocent ligands has thus emerged on the horizon.
