Synthetic cost and long-term stability remain two of the most challenging barriers for the utilization of redox-active organic molecules in redox flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage. Starting from potentially inexpensive 9,10-dihydroanthracene, we developed a new synthetic approach for two extremely stable anthraquinone negolytes, i.e., 3,3'-(9,10-anthraquinone-diyl)bis(3-methylbutanoic acid) (DPivOHAQ) and 4,4'-(9,10-anthraquinone-diyl)dibutanoic acid (DBAQ). Pairing with a ferrocyanide posolyte at pH 12, DPivOHAQ and DBAQ can transfer up to 1.4 and 2 M electrons with capacity fade rates of 0.014% per day and 0.0084% per day, respectively, and exhibit 1.0 V of open-circuit voltage. By adjusting the supporting electrolytes to pH 14, DPivOHAQ exhibited a record low capacity fade rate of
