Lots of potential : A trifluoromethylated corannulene, C 5 ‐C 20 H 5 (CF 3 ) 5 , has been prepared and characterized spectroscopically and by X‐ray crystallography. The structure exhibits a highly ordered bowl stacking that is unusual for corannulenes with acyclic substituents. The first reduction of C 5 ‐C 20 H 5 (CF 3 ) 5 is anodically shifted by 0.95 V, making it the strongest corannulene‐based electron acceptor to date.
