Abstract

The antiaromatic corannulene dianion, Cor^2-, undergoes photoejection of an electron to yield an intimate cage complex of Cor^̇- and the electron. Part of the complex species undergoes cage recombination, k_rec¹ = 1.1 × 10⁶ s^-1, while the other part of complex separates, k_s = 2.3 × 10⁶ s^-1, and yields Cor^̇- and a Li⁺/e^- ion pair. Diffusional recombination of the later products proceeds with a bimolecular rate constant corresponding to k_rec² = 1.3 × 10⁹ M^-1 s^-1. Time-resolved laser flash-photolysis and FT-EPR experiments are used to characterize the transient species.
