Corannulene , the smallest subunit of C 60 that retains a curved surface, forms crystalline η 2 ‐coordinated π complexes with dirhodium( II ) tetrakis(trifluoroacetate) by using solvent‐free gas‐phase deposition. As many as three metal atoms coordinate to the double bonds found at the rim of each corannulene, with one such atom always located on the concave surface (see picture).
