A novel through‐space interaction between a polycyclic charged 4nπ‐electron system and a phane like coupled benzene ring could be observed in the title compound 1 . This interaction manifests itself in particular in the extreme downfield shifts of the signals of the H c and H d protons (M Na, Li). The synthesis of the hydrocarbon precursor of 1 was achieved in few steps from commercially available [2.2]paracyclophane.
