The electronic “umpolung” of the title compound 1 to the dianion 2 is achieved by the uptake of four electrons from potassium in THF. Although the ring skeleton of the 18π 1 deviates significantly from planarity because of the streric requirements of the four selenium atoms, the new macrocycle fulfils the NMR criteria for aromaticity.
