Abstract

The X-ray crystallographic study of C60H28 consisting of two tethered corannulene bowls revealed a unique solid-state packing based on tight convex–concave π–π interactions. The controlled reduction of C60H28 resulted in the isolation and structural characterization of its dianion in the form of the rubidium salt that shows an entrapment of counterions by an anionic pincer.
