[5]Radialene is known as an unstable cyclic hydrocarbon with a cross‐conjugated system. Incorporation of heteroatoms into [5]radialene skeleton is an effective strategy for stabilization. Herein we synthesized dithieno[3,4‐b:3',4'‐d]arsole (1) as a novel class of hetero[5]radialenes since trivalent arsenic atom is much more stable than phosphorus one, which was used for hetero[5]radialene but unstable in air. The characteristic nature of the arsa[5]radialene was experimentally and computationally studied by comparing with the isomer, dithieno[3,2‐b:2',3'‐d]arsole (2). Structural analysis by X‐ray crystallography and computational evaluation of aromaticity revealed the radialene character of1. Interestingly,1showed phosphorescence though only fluorescence was observed for2. Time‐dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT) calculations implied that intersystem crossing could readily occur upon excitation for1. Furthermore, it was computationally elucidated that dimerization and/or oligomerization via Diels‐Alder reaction, which convert [5]radialene, were circumvented to offer stability for1.
