The title compound is not a Do ⊖ /A ⊕ ‐pentalene but a Do/A‐“pentalenequinone” , as has been shown by an X‐ray structure analysis and the 1 H‐NMR spectrum. Apparently, the formation of this structure is a possibility to circumvent antiaromatic destabilization by the eight π‐electrons of the pentalene. 1 forms stable, blue‐violet crystals of m.p. 220°C.
