The synthesis, metalation, and redox properties of an acyclic bis(iminothienyl)methene L- are presented. This pi-conjugated anion displayed pronounced redox activity, undergoing facile one-electron oxidation to the acyclic, metal-free, neutral radical L-center dot on reaction with FeBr2. In contrast, the reaction of L- with CuI formed the unique, neutral Cu2I2(L-center dot) complex of a ligand-centered radical, whereas reaction with the stronger oxidant AgBF4 formed the metal-free radical dication LC2+.
