NMR data show that the title compound 2 has a highly symmetrical structure—a propeller‐like arrangement having D 3 symmetry is plausible. Compound 2 was prepared by cyclotrimerization of the ate complex 1 . An explanation for the easy, reversible, two‐step reduction of 2 to its dianion may be provided by the importance of the dipolar resonance structure 3 in describing the actual structure of the dianion.
