“Stairway to Heaven” molecules based on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures bridged by fulvalene motifs were prepared from simple precursors using Lawesson's reagent. These ladder‐type molecules are multi‐redox systems that exhibit both reversible oxidations and reductions with electrochemical HOMO‐LUMO gaps correlating with the optical ones. Representative cyclic voltammograms are shown as “clouds”. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. B. Nielsen et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202100984).
