Undergoing a radical change! The reduction of dibenzo[ a,e ]pentalene by KC 8 afforded the corresponding anion radical, the structure of which was characterized for the first time by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The electronic state of the anion radical is discussed with the aid of theoretical calculations.
