The antiaromatic corannulene dianion, Cor(2-), undergoes photoejection of an electron to yield an intimate cage complex of Cor(.-) and the electron. Part of the complex species undergoes cage recombination, k(rec)(1) = 1.1 x 10(6) s(-1), while the other part of complex separates, k(s) = 2.3 x 10(6) s(-1), and yields Cor(.-) and a Li+/e(-) ion pair. Diffusional recombination of the later products proceeds with a bimolecular rate constant corresponding to k(rec)(2) = 1.3 x 10(9) M-1 s(-1). Time-resolved laser flash-photolysis and FT-EPR experiments are used to characterize the transient species.
