Abstract

Pentaindenocorannulene (C₅₀ H₂₀ , 1), a deep bowl polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon, accepts 4 electrons, crystallizes in columnar bowl-in-bowl assemblies and forms a nested C₆₀ @1₂ complex. Spectra, structures and computations are presented.

Keywords: C60; corannulenes; cyclic voltammetry; dynamic NMR spectroscopy; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
