A reduction cascade: The reduction of indenocorannulene by potassium leads to the formation of the diastereomeric dimers 1 and/or 2; this is the first case of reductive dimerization of a large nonplanar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. The twofold formation of these dimers, and their dissociation to the monomeric species, was monitored by NMR spectroscopic methods.
