The cyclopropenium ion with three exocyclic anionic substituents (1 A 2− ) is a resonance structure that according to NMR spectroscopic data is of great significance for the description of the bonding of the dianion 1 2− , which can be prepared by reduction of the [3]radialene 1 with alkali metals (MLi, Na). In contrast, as electronic spectroscopic investigations show, in the excited state a stronger back charge transfer into the central ring system occurs in 1 2− .
