Abstract

In the radical anion (1•–) of acepentalene, generated by photooxidation of the corresponding dianion (12–), the spin population appears to be evenly distributed over the nine-membered perimeter due to a rapid interconversion between two bowl-shaped Cs forms and a relatively low lying planar C2v transition structure (TS).
