Abstract The quest for stable gas‐phase anions in highly negative charge states has been a great challenge. While multiply charged anions are stabilized in solids and liquids by compensating cations and solvation cells, respectively, stable anions containing less than a hundred atoms in the gas phase and capable of carrying charge beyond −3 is unknown. Here, we report the discovery of thermodynamically stable tetra‐ and penta‐anions, containing less than 50 and 80 atoms, respectively, in the gas phase. A universal model is developed that explains their stability in terms of the synergy between closed shell, high electron affinity, and size and predicts new highly‐charged anions by using the known charged clusters as building blocks. Synthesis of these species can open a new chapter in materials chemistry.
