Linear quinodimethane-embedded acene analogue 9L was synthesized, and its quinoidal structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The multiple oxidation states of 9L could be achieved. Its dication is a triplet diradical, and its tetracation can be regarded as the isoelectronic structure of the nonacene, which was validated by experiments and theoretical calculations.
