π-electron systems composed of multiple redox-active units are attractive, but it is still challenging to selectively synthesize the diverse molecular structures of redox-convertible species in multi-electrophore systems. Here, the authors design covalently linked quinodimethane derivatives with a sulfur bridge that can be converted into three different geometries via redox reaction.
