Abstract
In the radical anion (1(.-)) of acepentalene, generated by photooxidation o f the corresponding dianion (1(2-)), the spin population appears to be even ly distributed over the nine-membered perimeter due to a rapid interconvers ion between two bowl-shaped C-s forms and a relatively low lying planar C-2 v transition structure (TS).
