The existence of peripheral ring currents in the dianion and the tetraanion of (1) is manifested in the NMR spectra. In the case of (1) , the dianion, and the tetraanion, H‐3 (outer) absorbs at δ = 7.37, 9.26, and 4.48, respectively, and H‐4 (inner) at 7.37, −7.07 (!), and 12.76, respectively. From the viewpoint of bonding theory, it is particularly surprising that perimeter conjugation extends beyond the benzene units.
