Herein, we report the record-breaking seven-electron reduction of di-iso-propylphenyl-bis-iminoacenaphthene (dpp-bian) involving protons under chemical and electrochemical reduction conditions. Using the dpp-bian-H 2 compound as a starting reagent, its mono- and trisodium salts were obtained. A voltammetric study showed that the trinuclear sodium salt can accept an additional seventh electron upon electrochemical reduction.
