Abstract
Upon Birch reduction, C70 forms C70H30 as a major product. Besides rep orting spectroscopic properties, we discuss the possible structures of C70H30 and suggest that the most stable structure is derived by exclu sive 1,4-addition to the corannulene units and to the central pentaphe nyl belt in C70.
