  1. Abstract Mono‐ and dianions of 2‐tert‐butyl‐3a2‐azapentabenzo[bc,ef,hi,kl,no]corannulene (1 a) were synthesized by chemical reduction with sodium and cesium metals, and crystallized as the corresponding salts in the presence of 18‐crown‐6 ether. X‐ray diffraction analysis of the sodium salt, [{Na+(18‐crown‐6)(THF)2}3{Na+(18‐crown‐6)(THF)}(1 a2−)2], revealed the presence of a naked dianion. In contrast, controlled reaction of1 awith Cs allowed the isolation of singly and doubly reduced forms of1 a, both forming π‐complexes with cesium ions in the solid state. In [{Cs+(18‐crown‐6)}(1 a)]⋅THF, asymmetric binding of the Cs+ion to the concave surface of1 ais observed, whereas in [{Cs+(18‐crown‐6)}2(1 a2−)], two Cs+ions bind to both the concave and convex surfaces of the dianion. The present study provides the first successful isolation and characterization of the reduced products of heteroatom‐containing buckybowl molecules.
